I see your point but it has to be more than that. These protestors must see that it's better to share these stops than to have extra cars on the street, or more crowding on the already shitty public transit.

In previous stories it was mentioned that the private bus would in some cases stop at the public stop and prevent regular public transit buses from using it for some period of time, forcing people to board the public bus not at the proper position and so forth.

Sharing a system of public bus stations requires some coordination, which it seems is just starting now.
