The below is from this presentation from around a week ago (found on HAIF):

I was really worried they were going to make you transfer at Northwest TC, but being able to get to Uptown from Downtown and vice versa quickly along a highway with minimal stops and your own lane is huge, If you live in one of those two places, your backyard is about to get a lot larger.

Now I'm wondering if they'll do the same with the Richmond line, so that people living near the Museum district can get to Uptown and vice versa without any transfers. (Of course this route won't be as quick, but with far more interesting stops along the way.)
