Bus entering Metro tunnel, Seattle, March 16, 1989
Order an ImageIn this image a Metro "training coach" goes through one of the two tunnels in downtown Seattle. The Italian-designed bus, which bent in the middle, easily negotiated the curves.
The Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel (Metro Bus Tunnel) is a 1.3-mile-long public transit tunnel that runs underneath downtown Seattle. Constructed between 1987-1990, the $455 million tunnel originally built for buses was updated in 2009 to include light rail access.
