You aren't alone on this thought. The Hall road route seems to be a point of contention. I certainly wouldn't want to board a bus in that area. Part of the transit experience is getting to the bus. I don't know of anyone who likes waiting for a bus on a large open roadway in the middle of winter, or even trying to get to it without the presence of at least some structural protection against the elements on their walk to the stop....aka "a city." If it's park and ride facilities, then I have more faith in the Hall Road route.
