Because STO is leaning towards retaining their BRT for the near future, it makes more sense to have them provide service to Bayview. Not all commuters from Gatineau go downtown, many of them go to Tunney's or Confederation Heights, so I doubt the fears of Bayview being overwhelmed. The STO buses can easily make a loop around the CBD in the morning if this is an issue. The afternoon rush hour is not as critical.

I disagree on this point. This is the weakness of a hub and spoke system. Inbound, it is local transit to frequent rapid transit and a short wait. In reverse, your last leg may involve a lengthy transfer wait for local transit.
