I assumed he meant people taking the bus to K-W.  You are correct that people driving into town would not use such an amenity.

I think there is a lot to be said for the idea of a bus terminal at Sportsworld, with the LRT extending to there. Then a London-to-Toronto bus, for example, could pop off the 401, up to Sportsworld, and back on to the 401 quickly, and people could take the LRT into K/W. Or iXpress down into Cambridge.
