- Tremblay is near the highway and links to VIA, but the layout would need to be significantly altered to accomadate the buses. Not to mention they would need to deal with VIA and the NCC as well (with Hurdman, the NCC may only need to give a quick rubber stamp if existing facilities are used). I also think there are better opportunities at this station (TOD);
- St. Laurent could come with a rebuild of the bus loop, which is in the plans anyway, along with a new entrance and bridge to the Federal land South of the highway;
- Blair (because Cyrville is not an option) has a lot of the same advantages as Hurdman, but in a tighter area that will have some maneuverability challenges for buses in a few years.

For better or for worse Hurdman also already has an additional platform on the south side of the loop, and a drop off loop for cars.
Super inconvenient and basically no shelter at all, but.......
