"Although the hub-and-spoke system is launching in September, a long-planned physical bus hub in Pahoa is still several years out, Andoh said.
Previously, the hub was intended to be built at the intersection of Pahoa Bypass Road and Pahoa-Kapoho Road on property that would be purchased by the county. But Planning Director Zendo Kern said Tuesday that the location is being reconsidered, based on the need for potential expansions.
Kern said the Planning Department will instead conduct environmental assessments on several sites in the area to determine an ideal site. Those assessments could be completed by early next year, Andoh said.
An interim bus hub will be in place at the Puna Kai Shopping Center in Pahoa, Andoh said."
