In this case, I could see why anyone with a cane or walker, let alone a wheelchair, would be pissed about having to trek across an uneven, semi-plowed parking lot to reach a "bus stop" with nowhere to sit down once they've reached it and are waiting for the bus.
Even for an able-bodied person, the location is trash. As is evident when you are driving by on the 417 and see a group of people with suitcases standing in a barren asphalt tundra with nothing around them but cart corrals and lamp posts.
And the old coach terminal was a block over from route 6.

The original comment didn't specify the accessibility concern (distance from the LRT). If the only focus is transit access for people with mobility issues then that is an issue. However, if the person is arriving by uber, taxi, paratranspo or getting dropped off there is easier than many other locations throughout the city.
Flixbus prioritizes shortening travel times and lowering costs (this is the no wifi, no amenities service). There are a number of bus services available that have a better level of service or better locations for stops for transit users.
