ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit
(03-13-2022, 08:15 PM)Bytor Wrote: That's Westlake Station on Seattle SoundLink's Line 1. It was part of bus tunnel that was completed in 1990. It was closed from 2005-2009 to be renovated for light rail. Busses continued to use it until 2019, though at progressively reduced amounts as LRT services increased.

Thanks!

I could also have mentioned Calgary’s downtown transit mall. That one is interesting because the rail vehicles are actually high-floor with high platforms; except for the location of the power pickup (overhead rather than 3rd rail), it’s not really that different from having a section of the Toronto subway sharing space with buses.
