This idea has been around since the 80's, believe it or not. While it might sound exciting and attractive, the Big Island does not have the population density (thank goodness)to make rail transit economically feasible. Better bus service over an improved and extended Saddle Road should be more practical. Leilaniguy's suggestion has a lot of merit, too, i.e. spend the money redressing imbalances between the two sides of the island.
