I don't believe any other current or planned link alignments envision joint bus/rail operations other than the DSTT.

Unfortunately, there was not money in the budget for 4 track operation. They need that small nightime maintenance window.

Anyone know if that bridge from I-5 towards Sea-Tac could also accept buses?
