Is this Seattle? Does the combination of bus and rail in a tunnel ever present a problem? Over passing in the station, bus traffic jams? Are the bus stops organized as if they are on the street or are they "take the first available space in front of you"?
@MingGuoLi Generally, they get along fine, though they could work far better together than they do. Stops are organized into four 'bays' with two on each side (the blue signs you see along the platform), with busses assigned to each based on what direction the go from the tunnel. Backups do occur, especially if a bus or train breaks down, or a bus deploys its wheelchair ramp. Busses can pass broken vehicles with permission of the Link Control Center and a Metro Supervisor spotting.
