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. In addition to the relaxed dress code, the newly acquired buses are air-conditioned, and drivers no longer have to handle money, with exact change — 25 cents for adults — required for the new buses’ fare boxes.
