KAPOLEI, Hawaii (KHON2) -- Increased fares and different routes are some changes that could be coming for bus riders in 2025 as the second segment of Rail is expected to open. Download the free KHON2 app for iOS or Android to stay informed on the latest news Proposed fare hikes for 2025 include $10 and $5 increases for adult and youth monthly passes -- adult annual passes are also expected to rise $110. Fares were last raised in 2022, which Department of Transportation Services director Roger Morton admitted might seem recent. New Bus Routes to Service Rail Riders "My philosophy is that rate increases should be frequent and small, rather than infrequent and large," he said. Advocates for accountable government said the hikes would not be needed if Rail had the numbers that officials hoped for when Segment One opened. "If very few people ride the rail, then it's more expensive to run and they have to raise fares. And that's exactly what's going on right now," said Grassroot Institute of Hawaii executive vice president Joe Kent. HOLO cards needed to ride Honolulu’s Skyline Morton said the increases would have been required regardless of the opening of Rail, and added that bus route changes will be implemented as Skyline operations are expected to extend to -- and open service at -- the Kalihi Transit Center in late 2025. "We are planning some fast and frequent service from our terminus for Skyline, our upcoming extension That'll get people in a real fast way to the major destinations of downtown, UH, Kakaako," Morton said. That could mean changes to other routes, like number 41 in Kapolei. Edward Joseph has lived in the adjacent senior community for 14 years and said a tiny paper notice with an electronic code was recently posted on their neighborhood stop. His usual route to the grocery store would be eliminated if the change is approved. "You can't even see it if you walk up to it. You have to be right on top of it," Joseph said. "They're asking people to for a survey. Many of our residents don't have a computer and don't know what a QR code is To be able to do that."
