Honestly, I think because busses suck. I wouldn't get on one. Seems lame to me. Trains at least have some appeal, but busses just don't. The infrastructure for busses (aka roads) have been around forever. Busses to Banff have been around forever. Nobody takes them because they're lame.
Calgary almost suffers from being
too close to the mountains in that regard. By the time you get to a bus terminal, park, board, wait for the strugglers to get settled, etc., you'd already be in Banff just driving your car.
Is parking the biggest problem here that it keeps coming back to? Yeah, I think building like a three-story parking structure or clearing out space for another parking lot will a fata-ton more practical and cheaper than a train or trying to get a bus fleet going that nobody will use.
