HONOLULU – The City and County of Honolulu’s Department of Transportation Services (DTS) is reminding residents that Skyline remains a strong, reliable option for commuters during periods of heavy congestion and unexpected roadway disruptions.
On Tuesday, Skyline recorded 12,902 rides, the highest weekday ridership total to date. The milestone underscores the system’s growing role as a dependable alternative when motor vehicle travel becomes challenging and traffic conditions worsen across Oʻahu’s busiest corridors.
“Skyline is there for people when unexpected delays impact their commute and they need another option,” said DTS Director Roger Morton. “Whether it’s heavy traffic, an unplanned incident, or simply wanting a smoother ride home, Skyline provides a reliable connection when it matters most.”
Frequent service and seamless connections with TheBus allowed riders to quickly adjust their travel plans, helping keep people moving despite difficult traffic conditions. The record ridership demonstrates how Skyline supports the broader transportation network by providing a safe, efficient, and dependable transit option during periods of peak demand.
Drivers are reminded that the following park-and-rides are available at the following stations:
Keoneʻae UH West Oʻahu Station: 304 parking stalls
Honouliuli Hoʻopili Station: 344 parking stalls
Hālawa Aloha Stadium Station: 590 parking stalls
Kahauiki Kalihi Transit Center Station: 95 parking stalls
Park-and-Ride lots are available for transit riders, and limited to no more than 24 hours. Drivers who wish to finish their commute by Skyline can use any one of these lots, and return within 24 hours to pick-up their vehicle.
DTS encourages residents to consider Skyline as part of their everyday travel, and as a dependable option when road conditions change unexpectedly.
