Please improve weekend bus service

The Kauai Bus needs to run at least every hour on weekends. I just took the Saturday line (Lihue to Hanalei) and it was over crowded. Riders not only standing, but sitting on the floor.

About 90 percent were workers who had to go to work in Princeville.

This is ridiculous the bus runs only every two hours on the weekend.

It is unfair to folks who depend upon the bus.

It also effects tourists who don’t rent a car.

Protect people at Wailua Falls

Although a great number of people find walking down the Wailua Falls exhilarating and fun, it is rather saddening that no one is there at the falls to stop and prevent people being killed or rescued. There is however, someone in a white van whose license plate number I am not disclosing taking and conducting tours to the falls.

And having told a number of the anxious people at many occasions of of the danger at the falls, I am constantly being told that what they do is none of my business, which is true. Signs are posted but not very visible and way out of sight, and fences and stone walls are installed, but the walk continues. They find ways to get to the bottom of the falls.

This is a serious and a grave matter and a big concern, and I feel that something or someone needs to enforce the tours conducted there and also stop other people finding ways going down from being killed. I believe there have been more retrievals than rescues done there. Let’s have our concerned leaders to look into this matter.
