    According to today's Honolulu Advertiser:

    The City Council's Committee on Transportation and Public Works yesterday voted 4-1 to eliminate rubber-tire and magnetic levitation technology from consideration for the 20-mile transit network. The vote, which followed an eight-hour hearing, reverses a March 19 council decision to continue to evaluate all three technologies.

    The council is expected to continue to debate technology options prior to a final vote April 16. However, most committee members yesterday felt the issue has been debated enough.

    "I don't think we comply with what we said we were going to do if we throw out (for continued deliberation) three technologies," said council member Todd Apo. "We need to make that decision. I do believe that steel on steel is the best selection for what we are trying to do."
