That's pretty awful actually. But surely passengers for Superstore will just stay on the Blue Line bus and exit right at Pembina & Bison. It's not as if exiting the bus at a "station" rather than a "stop" is some kind of pleasure that's worth a 17-minute hike.

Or 1 minute from the new Southpark station/stop, which might actually be the most useful station on the entire Phase 2.

On the way out, there's so many pedestrians crossing (and again, no priority or right turn signal) that it was the same – 2-3 busses exiting per cycle, with dozens waiting.

I don't think it's that insane. It's a temporary situation. Once the transitway is operating, buses will be going straight across rather than turning, no special signals needed. (They should of course be doing something to manage the situation in the meantime, seems like a perfect job for traffic cops.)
