TheBus x Skyline Integration
The City and County of Honolulu’s Department of Transportation Services (DTS) is working with local communities, other agencies, and experts in public transportation to develop Honolulu’s first Bus-Rail Integration Plan (BRIP).
The Bus-Rail Integration Plan will help to minimize redundancies in the overall transit network and keeping operating costs low.
What Bus Routes are Changing?
For the first phase of the BRIP, most changes to bus routes will be improvements to the frequency and availability of service with slight changes to the route alignment. There will also be new routes, to provide direct connections to Skyline. No Peak Express bus routes are affected in preparation for passenger service.
The biggest change will be Route A, which will terminate at Pearlridge rather than extend into Waipahu, and no longer serve the Middle Street Intermodal Center and King Street. This shorter route will create a direct, high-speed and high-frequency (every 10 minutes during peak hours/15 minutes during off-peak hours) connection between Skyline, downtown Honolulu, and the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa. Riders traveling from Waipahu can catch a train, then transfer for free to Route A at Aloha Stadium Station. Riders destined for Middle Street Intermodal Center and King Street will be able to catch Route 1L starting at Aloha Stadium.

Segment 3 will also feature new/modified TheBus routes.
