Multimodal Movement travels to Kaua‘i
May 28, 2024
If you’re on the Garden Island and looking for an easy and affordable way to get around, try using the Kaua‘i Bus. In this month’s Multimodal Movement segments on KITV, we offer tips on how to get the latest information to maximize your journey on the bus:
- Download The Kaua‘i Bus Tracker app
- Check out thekauaibus.com to track the bus live
- Visit thekauaibus.com for arrival times
- Purchase a Kaua‘i Bus pass
These segments featuring the Kaua‘i Bus are just several of many this year that will share tips on joining the multimodal movement. They also highlight the benefits of riding the bus, biking, and rail, among others.
Viewers will see how everyday multimodal transportation users go about their day without having to depend on driving a car, how making the choice is easy, and how it helps to reduce carbon emissions and traffic. The goal is to increase awareness of multimodal transportation choices and encourage residents to consider changing their routine and mindset about getting around.
Another significant benefit of not owning a car is saving money on gas and maintenance. In Hawai‘i, personal vehicles cost an average of $16,200 per household per year. Factoring in all public costs (state and county expenditures, social and economic trade-offs, and real estate value of land set aside for roadways and parking), the total comes to an estimated $40,600 per household per year.
