Apparently Metro Transit had to close the downtown Seattle bus tunnel because of computer glitches. I spotted this as I tried to hop on the tunnel at Union Station at about 4pm (left work early because I have been feeling sick the last few days).
Here's the quote from the article on kirotv.com:
SEATTLE -- Metro Transit has closed the downtown Seattle bus tunnel because a computer that controls tunnel operations failed. Bus routes using the tunnel are operating on surface streets downtown. Congestions and delays are expected downtown during the evening commute, Metro said. Get details about which routes are affected at the Metro Web site. A computer system was installed during the tunnel's recent retrofit controls ventilation, lighting, signals and other operations. Metro said there is no estimate for when service will be restored.
