The 301, 101 and 104 are being adjusted to go to Westbrook station. Everyone has to transfer there.

I've hated the idea from day 1. I called the City and emailed them multiple times over this issue, and have vented to them repeatedly. They keep telling me the new four-car trains are going to be more than enough to handle capacity.

I'll give them a bit of a break - I'd like to see how the new system works first, but I have serious hesitations it would improve anything there is right now. I can just see a giant cluster#### at Westbrook Station that is going to piss off ALOT of people.

And think about this - all those people waiting for these same buses (including myself) now are going to clog up the train stations out of downtown. It is going to be ugly, shoulder-to-shoulder Tokyo-style crowding to get on these trains back home.

I believe my commute has just gotten alot more complicated. More incentive to cycle or walk, even if it takes longer.
