Seattle Bus Tunnel
Outside of Tunnel

Outside of the tunnel the special Tunnel Buses runs on streets and freeways around the Seattle region. One tunnel route #550 is operated by Seattle Metro, but is funded by Sound Transit, the regional transit agency. That is why you will find the Breda Tunnel Busses in 3 paint schemes. The original white/gray for Metro. The newer Green/Yellow for Metro (an my personal favorite) and the Sound Transit White/Blue.
