They've done this before. So they know how many buses to run.
I hope they'll find a way for buses to get through the traffic light stupidity near Park Street and Kendall, maybe by having cops wave them through. That's where much of the time is wasted. Or if they wanted to get creative, they could close Park Street (the street, not the station), and make it one-way northbound for buses only.
The other big problem is passenger congestion at Kendall, which slows down loading, and delays trains on the entire Kendall-Alewife segment. But I'm not sure what to do about that one.
