A rising number of University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> students and employees are using the new Skyline rail system and TheBus to escape Oʻahu<\/span>\u2019s congested roadways. UH<\/abbr> riders are taking advantage of exclusive, discounted fares on Honolulu\u2019s integrated public transit system to commute to and from UH<\/abbr> West Oʻahu<\/span><\/a>, Leeward Community College<\/a> and UH<\/abbr> Mānoa<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Leeward CC<\/abbr> student Betty C. Hill, who lives in ʻEwa<\/span>, uses the rail line three times a week in combination with a brief bus ride.<\/p>\n

“The quickness of getting from Waipahu to Leeward in like five minutes and the reliability of the rail coming every ten minutes has also made me get to campus earlier, perfect for my 9 a.m. class,” said Hill.<\/p>\n

The first phase of Skyline currently takes passengers across nine rail stations between East Kapolei and Hālawa near Aloha Stadium. All Skyline stations, excluding Honouliuli, Hoʻopili<\/span>, and Hālaulani, have bus stops and connectivity, providing commuters with convenient options.<\/p>\n
