For those who don't know, this is the station serving Gatineau's largest mall. People have to cross the railroad track and 6+ lane boulevard to get to the mall parking lot on the left.
To be fair, the Rapibus doesn't serve anything very well.

It could have been worse, as the station was originally supposed to be down in the tunnel that you see towards the top right of the picture.
There is a slight glimmer of hope, as Les Promenades is undergoing a renovation and expansion, and the mall is going to be expanded towards the boulevard that you see (notably with the addition of a Maison Simons store), and so that should eat up at least some of the sea of parking that you have to cross to get from the station to the mall.
It's supposed to look something like this:
