A majority of voters on Hawaii's Oahu island said yes to rail transit during Tuesday's election.
According to the Office of Elections, 155,880, or 50-point-6 percent of voters said they want the city to move forward with the proposed rail transit system.
Pacific Business News reports a recent draft environmental impact statement said the rail system will cut traffic by 20-percent.
The report also said the cost of the project would increase by 200 million to 3.9 billion US dollars.
