I know that Seattle converted at least one tunnel, which was originally
to be for a light rail line, into a dedicated bus lane.


Well no, it was sort of the reverse of that: it was built originally
as a bus tunnel, but with tracks installed for future light-rail
usage. But when the 'lectric trains came into view, things weren't
going to work so it had to be modified
