However, looking at your satellite photo, Pinecrest is more isolated than the other stations. Perhaps the LRT can go from a "Lincoln Fields/Croydon" superstation, go to Pinecrest, and then go to a "Bayshore/Coliseum" superstation.
As for Greyhound's Station Centrale, I had meant a new station along the same line that Bronson station is on, at Kent. That should be ~2 mins walk from the Greyhound.

Hm, I'm thinking you may be right. As great as it would be for Coliseum and Croydon to have their own stations, Pinecrest deserves something more. We'd just have to find a way to get people easily to Coliseum, then, without having to go too out of their way.
Wasn't Lincoln Fields going to be moved South more? It would make sense for that area, with lots of development potential, to have their own station.
I'm confused by what you mean about the Greyhound Station. Do you mean move the current Greyhound Bus Station to Bronson and Somerset so it's served by a line? The only thing I can imagine is close is the Lime Greek Gladstone Streetcar Line that comes close enough. It would be weird to detour them just to meet the bus terminal, especially if we see Gladstone turned into an important commercial strip. Having a streetcar line along Catherine is possible, except it's too short and out-of-the-way to have direct transit. Hm...
Maybe if we got rid of the Queensway and had those blocks developed there could be a major East-West LRT line or something that could serve them, but then again if there's no Queensway the terminal might have to move elsewhere, possibly to VIA Rail.
The thick lines are underground LRT under Bank and Somerset, the thin lines are surface streetcars on Bronson and Gladstone. The circle is the bus terminal.
