The devil's advocate speaks.
If the shuttle buses go only from Kendall to Bowdoin then it's a bear to get back to the Red Line to Ashmont or Braintree having to make additional transfers via the Green Line or Orange Line.
The existing alternate announcements of trains to Ashmont and Braintree are actually quite fail-safe for the low information voters among us. They will wait at most one superfluous train headway interval if they blindly follow the announcements. If all the announcements were change to "train to Kendall" then those poor schlubs would be waiting forever for an Ashmont or Braintree announcement.
Anyone know how the station sign messages are programmed? Using a telephone dial where "1" is shared by the letters A, B, and C so you have to punch 11 for A, 12 for B, 13 for C, 21 for D, 22, for E, etc. as in old fashioned texting? Very cumbersome and you also have to remember (or look closely at the dial) to see that M, N, and O share the number 6.
