Gee just what I need as a store owner, hordes of people clogging the
way to my business and all sorts of people wanting to use my toilet
and buying nothing.  I have seen stores and businesses opposing
transit stops near their doors and a Megabus stop would be an even
bigger headache.  Incidentally Amtrak and New Jersey Transit have had
road crossing stops and Via has conditional stops in the middle of the
woods.
