Interesting side note about the City of Calgary allowing taxis to wait next to a fire hydrant for a fare, thereby turning many points in the City into de facto taxi stands.

Quote from the article from Waterloo Taxi President

"If they had any consideration at all for the consumer they would make this very convenient. When you step out you should be able to jump into your next form of transportation."

Isn't that what they did by having an LRT stop directly adjacent to the bus terminal on Charles?
