Steattle's Metro Tunnel

The Metro Bus Tunnel, more accurately referred to as the Downtown Seattle Transit Tunnel, is a 1.3-mile (2.1 km) public transit tunnel that runs the length of downtown Seattle, from 9th Avenue and Pike Street to 5th Avenue S. and S. Jackson Street. Approved by Metro Transit in 1983, construction began in 1987. It was completed and service began in 1990, at a total cost of $444 million.

The tunnel was closed on September 24, 2005 for modification to accommodate both buses and Sound Transit's Central Link Light Rail trains. Prior to closure, around two dozen bus routes ran through the tunnel. The buses were dual-powered, using electricity in the tunnel from an above wire connection and diesel on city streets. It reopened on Monday, September 24, 2007. (Text from Wikipedia)

Huston Metro

This is not actually a subway sign, but a bus stop. Huston Metro (the transit authority for Harris County, Texas) also operates a light rail system.
