So in your mind if the transit stop was 20 feet closer, more people would shop at the mall? People are able to walk into The Bay from the current location without any issue. I feel like this is a mountain out of molehills situation.
To presume that the Mall viewed transit people as bad customers, is a bit far fetched. However I can see The Bay drawing issue with it as their vestibule was constantly full of people standing around waiting for the bus in the Summer and Winter. They're a business not a shelter.
