    INFORMATION
    City Vans Program: 523-4381 There is also a City Vans program. People who live in outlying areas can arrange to be picked up and brought to town in a city van. The service is free, but is not door-to-door.

  • Locations: Waianae Neighborhood Community Center, Kapolei Transit Center, Wahiawa District Park, Hans L'Orange Park (Waipahu), Pearl City Blaisdell Park, Kalii School St. Bus Stop, Kaneohe District Park.
  • Van Pools Hawaii: Vanpool Hawaii has 10 vans available for as well as open seats on existing Vanpools. Check out the Vanpool Hawaii Web site for more info.
  • 596-VANS (8267) VanPoolHawaii.com
  • Neighborhood Trolley (Manoa/Kaimuki/Kapahulu/Waikiki)
  • Jitney Proposal: The jitney proposal would involve using taxicabs to run along eight bus routes between Waipahu and Waikiki.

    Instead of a bus picking up passengers at a bus stop, a jitney would act as a taxicab. The stops would run along popular routes, including runs from the University of Hawaii to Ala Moana Center to Waipahu. However, even the estimated 100 taxis won't completely replace TheBus system.

    It also will cost more. If you catcg a jitney, the driver will charge you $3 no matter how long the ride.
