Simultaneous bus and train operation in the Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel ended a few years ago, 2018 I think. This was done to improve headways and reliability for the train. The buses that previously ran in the tunnel now run on surface streets in a mix of bus only and general purpose lanes.
@@genericanduncreative thanks for the update. We stayed two nights in Seattle whilst picking up a cruise. Tunnel seemed a good idea to quickly transit the city. Confusing to see buses on metro train track.
@@stewartbennett6837 it was also because the Bus Exit at Convention Place was kinda filled in and is now being used as an Extension to the Washington State Conference Center
there are a few bust types not seen in this video that are a part of the King County Metro System, the all new Wireless Electric busses that operate in and around Bellevue, and the 74xx busses that mostly operate the east side in the next few years the all electric fleet will be expanded with more wireless electrics, both 40ft and 60ft flexi types there are also new 60ft BRT buses coming soon that have 5 doors, 3 on the passenger side and 2 behind the driver, these will join the existing BRT fleet

Interesting array of buses!! Colorful too!! Thanks Tim👍👍😄😄
I always love your camera angles. Overhead shots! YES!👍
Seattle has so many awesome buses, great city for transit
I love that Seattle has double-deckers, just like London!
currently 2 operators in Seattle, Community transit and Sound Transit, mostly operating between downtown Seattle and Everett area
Why do you not show the buses using the tunnel under the city centre? I travelled on it, and think it shares the tunnel.
