Exactly. Sometimes after work I'll go shopping in Wal-Mart, or even poke around the mall in Sport Chek or the EB Games in there. Or just grab a coffee at Starbucks in the mall. I would never do that if I'm waiting for a bus at the station, out of fear I'll miss it. Commuters parking there absolutely generates business for that mall (at least for me), and it doesn't appear parking spots are at a premium in that lot either. I just don't get it.

EDIT: Didn't see the comment directly above this one when I wrote that. Yeah I'm guessing AMA would become transit parking as well, if they moved. That's actually the closest station to me, but due to no parking there, I've always just gone to Westbrook instead.
