As I recall, Jimmy has it correct, feeder buses. Mrs. Furnace was on the committee for the station near us (Shaganappi) and parking wasn't really a consideration given, as Jimmy also said, the areas are established. It would have cost an awful lot to buy up part of a community to pave it...plus the hue and cry from that would have been immense. The expectation is people in the areas are generally close enough to walk or bike to a station or take a feeder. There is ample bike parking at Shag, it's even covered! It does appear they attempted to place stations at somewhat strategic spots get get the largest catch possible. I would imagine if AMA were to move, that area would become parking.
