Meta: it seems like Hawaii (Hawai'i) would be a pretty good place to be able to do public transit, given the not-huge distances involved on any particular island, but AFAICT, it's not very good there.
Also it seems like it's not very bike / cycling friendly either:

- ghaff 3y agoYou do have to separate Honolulu from pretty much everywhere else in the islands. Most of the small town/cities/resort communities are quite walkable once you get there. Everything else is extremely spread out--rural for the most part by any reasonable measure. Also often difficult terrain.
- jauntywundrkind 3y agoThis suggests to me that there's a perhaps even better application for an eco-friendly high-speed water transport: intra-island transport! Rather than try to build and maintain difficult overland transport at land-speed, we could seaglider between coastal villages.
