To make explicit the unspoken detail above - the demographic difference is students.
Conestoga is much closer to the universities, and relies on students as a large portion of their clientele. Students tend not to own cars, and thanks to U-Passes regularly take transit. Thus, Conestoga is welcoming of transit infrastructure to smoothly bring in much of their client base.
Fairview has a far different demographic amongst its clientele, and perceives (truly or not) that only their car-driving patrons are of value. Thus, nearby transit infrastructure is rebuffed by them, especially the bus terminal (again, their perception, not necessarily reality, is that LRT riders are more welcome than bus users).
