The right public transportation technology within an urban setting can add significantly to the aesthetic look and functionality of a metropolitan area. With the variety of urban transit systems currently operating in the world today, it's important that cities planning on developing new or extending systems have the right information based on previous projects. The City of Honolulu, in its High-Capacity Transit Corridor Project, has decided to build their new transit system on steel wheel/steel rail technology. An expert panel recently affirmed this decision based upon alleged lower construction costs, operations and maintenance costs, operating noise levels, and providing the most proven mass transit solution. This paper will reconsider whether the official decision to go with a steel wheel system was in fact more beneficial than a rubber tired system.
