NNEPRA has a page of projects they're working on in the Downeaster corridor and up into the rest of Maine - In particular, one that's caught my eye is a proposal for a few passenger runs a day between Brunswick and Rockland, timed to make connections with the Downeaster. There's a bus leaving from the Portland and Bangor stations that makes ten or so stops up and down the coast once a day, with connections to and from Boston on the bus (and, as the both have stops at the Portland Transportation Center and the Brunswick station, the Downeaster as a whole) and I know it gets particularly busy during the summer, so the proposed route has caught my eye - Apparently they're planning to do limited schedules this summer and fall for testing purposes. What are your thoughts? Personally, I'd love if they could stretch it just a little further north up to Camden/Rockport, maybe even to Lincolnville, as the former is one of the busier bus pickup/dropoff points, but either way additional service up the mid coast would be massively helpful for accessibility purposes, especially during tourist season.

I think buses are cool and running buses alongside the downeastern could really improve the route, especially after they lengthen it to Bangor
