Limiting in Honolula

The Honolulu High-Capacity Transit Corridor Project (HHCTCP) is the official name for the plan to construct an elevated rapid transit line serving the City and County of Honolulu on the island of Oahu.

The line will use 128Ai??ft (39Ai??m) trains carrying about 390 passengers each, similar in weight to light rail systems elsewhere in the United States (such as the MAX in Portland, Oregon, as opposed to heavier, and thus more expensive, lines found on rapid transit systems like the subways and elevated systems of Chicago and New York City.^[9] Physically, the Honolulu system will have a good deal in common with light rapid transit systems such as SkyTrain in Vancouver, British Columbia or the Copenhagen Metro.

Rolling stock for the line will initially include 80 cars in 40 two-car consists, built by a joint venture between AnsaldoBreda and Ansaldo STS named Ansaldo Honolulu. (AnsaldoBreda and Ansaldo STS previously collaborated on the construction and operation of vehicles for the Copenhagen Metro.)

It is a proprietary package that has been purchased from AnsalsoBreda including cars, electrification, automatic train control, as in KA?benhavn.Ai??You will not be able just to buy someone elses metro cars and put them on the Honolulu system,Ai?? just likeAi??Ai??Vancouver’s Ai??Canada Line.

We wait for the protests from the Skytrain juveniles, Rico, De La Cruz & Richard on the comparison with Skytrain
