Depends on how well they want to do it. They could simply convert the frontmost platforms into bus bays. however, the platforms are open to the outdoors, which is why they queue train passengers inside the station. Bus riders are used to queuing right at the gate, so they would probably have to enclose those platforms to make them climate controlled.

It seems that they are only using half of the original tracks — there are abandoned platforms behind where new bus bays could be built with a heated terminal building connected by extending the tunnel. That spiral ramp down to it is so cool
