Seattle's downtown transit tunnel is served by both LRT and buses, so there's no operational reason why it can't happen.
But they don't seem to be interested in doing that kind of operation here.
It's also likely they would have done the concrete in shared sections to a higher standard (i.e. using the extra thick rebar used in intersections)
Of course, the ION stops at Borden/Ottawa are not actually on Borden and Ottawa, so there's not much to be gained. Some of us had imagined a shared platform at King/Victoria.
