Short Range Transit Plan • Existing Conditions ReportDEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION SERVICES, CITY AND COUNTY OF HONOLULUExecutive SummaryThis existing conditions report is the first work product emerging from the City and County ofHonolulu’s short range planning process for TheBus and TheHandi-Van services. It summarizesthe existing operating environment, focusing on trends that affect the delivery and effectiveness ofpublic transportation services. Future working papers will build on this effort, focusing on specificissues and suggesting strategies for their resolution.Several major themes have emerged during this initial project phase that have implications for theShort Range Transit Plan (SRTP) as well as continuing implications for Honolulu’s publictransportation services. The following section summarizes the most significant themes.TheBus ServicesHonolulu’s public transit system is very productive, comprising a major element ofHonolulu’s transportation infrastructure.1. According to the Oahu Metropolitan Planning Organization, in 2005 approximately 6 percentof all island residents commuting to/from work utilized transit. 12. As illustrated in the figure below, Honolulu’s fixed route bus operations are extremelyproductive, averaging more than 50 passengers per revenue hour in 2008. 2 This ranksamong the highest in the country and is only comparable to systems in major metropolitanareas such as New York, Chicago and Los Angeles.Figure ES-1 Passengers per Revenue Hour – Peer Systems and TheBusPassengers perSystemRevenue HourNew York City (NYCT) 68.2Chicago (CTA) 46.6Los Angeles (LACMTA) 51.0Dallas (DART) 22.1Philadelphia (SEPTA) 47.0Miami (MDT) 31.2San Francisco (MUNI) 64.4San Diego (MTS) 28.9Seattle (King County Metro) 36.5Boston (MBTA) 42.7Portland (Tri Met) 34.8National Average 34.8Honolulu 50.7Source: 2008 National Transit Database1 Oahu Regional Transportation Plan 2030 Amendment #1.

The system operates a variety of fixed route service types that experience varying levelsof ridership and productivity. Urban Trunk services in particular are extremely productive,averaging 74 passengers per revenue hour and carrying close to 45 percent of thesystem’s ridership.Figure ES-2 TheBus Fixed Route Service TypesCategoryRapid BusUrban TrunkUrban FeederSuburban TrunkSuburban FeederCommunityCirculatorPeak ExpressDescriptionLimited-stop express service along heavily traveled corridorsin both directions all dayDirect service connecting neighborhoods within the primaryurban centerRoutes that connect the Mauka/Makai neighborhoods with theprimary urban centerAll day service from outlying communities to the primaryurban centerService in suburban areas linking residential neighborhoodswith local activity centersCirculation in established communities that connectsneighborhoods with transit centersPeak commuter service connecting specific neighborhoods tomajor employment centersPassengersper HourPercent ofSystemRiders63.8 15.3%74.3 44.9%41.1 5.1%46.5 26.1%29.3 0.9%34.0 3.1%38.8 4.6%Source: APC data that has been adjusted to equal reported 2009 NTD average weekday boardings4. Productivity varies greatly within individual service categories, suggesting the need forcareful analysis of individual route operations. For example, as a group peak expressroutes carry 46 passengers per trip but the productivity of individual express routes rangesfrom about 4 to 67 passengers per trip. Following are the productivities achieved by fivedifferent express routes.Route 88A – North Shore Express53.0 passengers per tripRoute 97 – Village Park ExpressRoute 84 – Mililani Express NorthRoute 96 – Waipio Gentry ExpressRoute 80A – Hawaii Kai Park & Ride Express49.6 passengers per trip44.8 passengers per trip35.8 passengers per trip26.8 passengers per tripPage ES-2 • Nelson\Nygaard Consulting Associates Inc.
