Experience in other US cities shows that airport train stations are used more heavily by airport workers than by tourists. So this Phase I should still have a useful ridership.

In other
US cities, rail is often via some weird people mover.
Look at a good example of rail connection like YVR to downtown Vancouver if you want to see useful ridership from tourists and workers. I know Vancouver doesn't have a highway through downtown, but still... Honolulu's highway doesn't go downtown as well. It skirts high density areas. It's an ideal city for transit... but two problems:
1) Island mindset
2) No good examples nearby
