Council picks airport route for Honolulu rail

Advertiser Staff

Honolulu's planned $5.3 billion elevated commuter train will connect to Honolulu International Airport under a resolution passed by the Honolulu City Council today.

The resolution changes the route that previously went through the Salt Lake community. The change adds about $220 million to the cost of the project, but is expected to generate higher ridership and greater community acceptance.
