[91attendees] 52/55 bus [was Using the Bus in Honolulu]

Hi,

We just got back from a round trip on the 55 out from the
Ala Moana Center, and back from Haleiwa on the 52. A great
trip for a few $ if you have time (~4 hours plus any time
you spend off the bus). The best scenery is on the 55 route
once it hits the coast. You can get a snack in the Haleiwa
shopping area (NOT at Haleiwa Beach Park).

BUT: it is no longer true that the 55 renumbers itself as
the 52 (or vice versa, if you go the other way round). Now
you need to get off the 55 in Haleiwa and wait for a 52
*on the same side of the road* to continue the circuit
(or vice versa, if you go the other way round). The schedule
out at Haleiwa seems to run on Island Time so your wait is
unpredictable, but the weather is nice and the locals are
friendly, so enjoy.

Regards
   Brian
