Former Governor Ben Cayetano is running for Mayor of Honolulu and has stated that if he is elected that he would do everything in his power to end the Honolulu Rail Project. In a recent press conference, Cayetano unveiled his alternative bus rapid transit plan. The plan, called the Flexible Affordable Smart Transportation (FAST) is estimated to cost only $1.1 billion and will use new buses and high-tech traffic signals to instantly respond to traffic problems. Furthermore, Cayetano stated that his proposal would service all the people of Honolulu, instead of just the 20-miles of Western Oahu that the rail line would help. Supporters of Cayetano are also quick to point out that this plan would be approximately 1/5 of the cost of the $5.26 billion rail transit project.
