Honolulu has opened an 11-mile section of its long-awaited Rail project, the first Passenger train service on Oahu since the 1940s. The Skyline system, once complete, will stretch about 20 miles from west of Honolulu to the city's downtown and civic districts, with about 84,000 passengers expected daily. The rail project aims to alleviate traffic congestion and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in line with Hawaii's goal of being carbon neutral by 2045. Despite facing delays, cost overruns, and safety concerns, the opening of the first section is seen as a significant achievement for the project.
