On June 30, the long-awaited Honolulu transit-rail system will begin passenger operations on an 11-mile stretch between the East Kapolei Station and Aloha Stadium stations, Mayor Rick Blangiardi announced last week.
The Honolulu Authority for Rapid Transportation-operated system is the first passenger-rail service in the city. Construction began in 2011. The $8 billion project has been plagued by multiple delays, cost overruns and changes in executive leadership.
But late next month, trains will begin running. Trains are scheduled to run every 10 minutes on weekdays from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m. and on weekends from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.
In late August 2022, HART began the trial-run testing phase for the first operating segment. The rail line’s second leg is expected to be ready for service in 2031.
