Continued Hurricane Lane Update

A quick overview of what is happening on Maui:

The leeward side of the Island continues to be calm.  We have some rain but nothing torrential.

Upcountry suffered trees down and electricity down in the area. Strong winds and some rain.

West side, Launiupoko has a huge fire with evacuation in effect.  Thank goodness the rain is heading their way to help fight the fire.

Thanks for your support.  Continue watching our beachcam and we’ll do our best to keep the information up on our Blog Site on www.MauiRealEstate.net

Uber And Lyft Approved For Kahului Airport

Posted on by

Any transportation network companies that have been licensed by the Hawaii Public Utilities Commission or a county agency, will soon be able to do drop-off and pickups at Kahului Airport.

This is the first the rules for commercial services for airport services have been amended since 2002. Uber and Lyft have been testing a pilot program since December last year. The pilot program found there was a need and interest in services at the airport.

The hope is for Maui to test a similar type of pilot program in the middle of September or early October. Honolulu has a designated area for ride share companies to do pick ups. Maui Airport officials have met with Uber and Lyft to hear how other cities do pickups and to make a plan to implement at the Kahului Airport.
