Hey! The bus tunnel's closed! Again!

Bolstering our faith in the local transit authorities, for the second time this week, the downtown bus tunnel is closed. The official reason is computer problems, as a H.A.L.-like super-brain down in the I.D. station controls the heating and ventillation, traffic signals, and zombie-workers that make possible Seattle's pathetic attempt at a subway. No word on when the tunnel will re-open, but earlier this week it was same-day; as before, tunnel lines are re-directed to Third Avenue, leaving a pissy mess above ground. Happy Christmas from Metro!

I spose we ought to be patient, they just opened the thing. Still! They don't have any manual backup?

On the plus-side, if we actually had the monorail service running a 15 mile track, it'd probably be on fire.
