John Takei drives a city bus sporting an aloha shirt, a welcome change from the uniforms drivers had to wear for Honolulu Rapid Transit. As the HRT strike went into its ninth week, Teamsters boarded 35 turquoise-and-orange Mass Transit Lines Inc. buses to service routes throughout the city. The buses were purchased from Dallas by Mayor Frank F. Fasi amid the HRT impasse.
