So this bus - At the time is cheap to ride and will get you places in a fully blasted air conditioned community public transportation. Riding the bus - It makes you appreciate how beautiful Oahu is. It takes you to routes you do not know existed LOL because being in a car its totally different. The Bus drivers are friendly and very helpful towards the riders. It can get uneasy when certain riders are in (homeless, abrupt riders etc) it can be a smell or just the surroundings. But riding this bus is an experience. They offer different routes depending on what # is the bus. This bus can also take you to North Shore which can be a ride but its CHEAP to get there. You do not need to worry about parking fees to park your car or finding a parking spot to park your car. This bus will do routes at the airport or swap meet as well. This ia very popular option for the Airport. Its CHEAP. HOLO cards are the best way to use the bus system. Its cheaper - The Bus do not bus transfers - Be mindful. HOLO cards are bus passes with unlimited rides per day or weekly I think. Its the best way to use The Bus if you are in the island for many days IMO. IMO The Bus is one of the best public transportation I have used - And I have used a few in many states. From Metro card (subway systems) to MUNI cable bus to LYNX bus. I still like The Bus system out of all.

Some observations on riding TheBus:…read more When entering a bus with more than half the seats filled, you might notice a natural human tendency for everyone to first take a seat all to themselves. As the bus continues to fill, another common sight is that a fairly large percentage of folks seem to be reserving the double seats for their own use, either by sitting on the aisle side of the seat, or by sitting on the inner side but seeming to block the aisle side with their belongings. Either way, this appears to signal that they're not inviting others to sit next to them. And most seasoned passengers seem to read these behaviors for what they appear to be. Some remain standing even when there are otherwise open aisle seats, making it difficult for newly boarding passengers to navigate around them, especially when those standing choose to do so while blocking the exits. Speaking of "exits," many or most buses have the type of rear doors with yellow strips on both sides, with some version of "Touch Here to Open Door." They also include an image of an open hand - seeming to mean you use your palms to push the doors open. On newer buses with the sensors still working properly, often you can use one finger to press on either yellow strip and the doors will open. But apparently because of abuse over time, for some doors you may need to use some force to cause the mechanism to work. Many ignore the yellow strips and the instructions and just attempt to push the doors open - which sometimes doesn't work at all - and then they may yell to the driver, "Back door!" My suggestion is to first wait for the green light over the exit doors to come on, then use your finger(s) to press on one of the yellow strips, but to smoothly switch to using more force, while still focusing on the yellow strips, if the mechanism has been desensitized. It should almost never be necessary to ignore the yellow strips and push on the doors themselves.

First time riding the Rail! Took my husband and boys today to ride the much anticipated HI mass…read moretransit system. It was a great experience overall! The husband works for the DOE so he knew the logistics of purchasing a Holo card prior to our adventure. Stopped by at a local 7-11 to grab adult Holo cards (kids Holo cards are NOT available at the stations and can only be purchased at Satellite City Hall or the transit centers). Luckily my boys were under the age limit, so no cards were needed for them. Adult rides are about $3 each way and factoring in our transfers, we were looking at around $7.50 per person. We drove from town to the Pearlridge station, then parked at the Park and Ride lot. About 14 stalls were available, visible and conspicuous from the main road. NO bathrooms at the stations. Trains run every 10 minutes. A friendly attendant was there to keep the premise safe and answer any questions. Trains were clean, safe, and well maintained. We were one of the few families riding the rail which made for a relaxing first experience! If they completed the line to end at Ala Moana, that would have been so convenient. If not in our lifetime, perhaps our boys will see it before their retirement! Lol

Today (Friday), we arrived around noon and were greeted by a security staff member who was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and provided excellent customer service. He patiently answered all of our questions and made us feel welcome. The ride to the airport took about 18-19 minutes. We did a practice walk from the station to the Hawaiian/Alaska Airlines check-in area, and it was very easy to navigate thanks to the clear directional signs along the way. Afterward, we hopped back on the rail, rode to the last two stations just for fun, and then headed back to Ho'opili. The entire round trip took about an hour. Overall, it was a smooth, clean, and enjoyable experience, and we look forward to riding again.

We were able to pass through the gate and I was thinking maybe we had to put the coins inside the rail and the next thing I heard of was a guy yelling over the intercom to embarass me and said that "you have to pay it is not free maam" when you could have politely said to put the coins in before you enter since he's freaking watching over a cctv instead of just watching me being so clueless in there. He said another word that I kinda dont remember but its about pay next time which is another embarassing moment instead of actually letting it pass since I already put the coin in. Now I would never even ride this rail again cause it's just too traumatic to be yelled at over something you can be educated in instead of being embarrassed of.

Waianae Transit Center is located on Lehoku Street. Passengers of the bus can see the view of the ocean from a distance as well as the back end of the parking lot of Waianae Mall. There's a clock fixture on the premises supposedly telling the current time of the day (not sure if it still works). There's no restroom facilities unless you want to consider the two port-a-potties that's available for the brave folks. Other wise the nearest restrooms are located at Pizza Hut for paying customers, Starbucks for paying customers, and Burger King. The few times that I have been to this public transit center I noticed some pre-teens riding their skateboards and doing small tricks on the sidewalk. I also noticed that the concrete sidewalk has a bunch of gum marks. Like most bus stop locations there will always be graffitis on the shelters or seats. Waianae Transit Center could use a bit more lights for the evenings. Especially when it's very dark. More lights equals to safe transit area for the residents of Waianae. Better to be safe in knowing your surrounding area than not knowing what's in your vicinity.
