Good grief you guys. The rail doesn't go to Aulani. If you want to bitch about it, the problem is that it only just goes to the east side of Kapolei, so all the people living in the massive sprawl there will still be driving to the end station instead of having one within walking distance. And if you want to get into conspiracies with developers, it's about developing Hoopili, the last big piece of farmland in Ewa and one of the few productive ag areas on Oahu that aren't growing GMO corn, and being able to call it "transit-oriented development" because the rail line goes through it.
Now if they were smart, they would continue it from there as a light rail line past Aulani, on the all the way to Makaha, on the old OR&L track. It would be relatively cheap since there's already an at-grade track and only a handful of street crossings on that side. But that would make too much sense.
