Hawaii’s elevated rail project was sold as a solution to Honolulu’s traffic problems, promising a modern transit line that would connect communities and reduce congestion. But years of delays, lawsuits, construction problems, and rising costs pushed the price tag toward $10 billion while the line ended up falling short of its original promised destination.
