It’s been three years since new Handi-Vans joined the city’s aging fleet of paratransit vehicles, but transit officials hope that a spate of new vans just now starting to arrive on Oahu will help improve the service amid ongoing complaints.
Several of the island’s top transit leaders joined Mayor Kirk Caldwell and advocates of better Handi-Van service at Honolulu Hale on Monday to tout the recent delivery of 15 new vans to Oahu. They’re the first of 99 newly purchased vans that are expected to gradually arrive and replenish about two-thirds of the Handi-Van fleet by October.
