As my family and I were having an extended breakfast/lunch at Anna Miller’s Restaurant recently, we noticed that there were only a few riders each time the Skyline was headed toward town. And it got me to wondering: Why hasn’t the city published or publicized the total cost of operations minus daily ridership fees per month so far? It would be interesting to see how much taxpayers in Hawaii are contributing to subsidize each paying rider, compared to similar rail systems around the country.
Just asking the hard question to which I think nobody really wants to know the answer.
