Downtown Ottawa isn't Manhattan in terms of density and congestion but there isn't much of a compelling reason for running intercity motorcoaches through there when there are rapid transit stations a couple of stops outside the core where there is a lot more space for them to wait and pick up passengers.
BTW at least one of the lines that runs from Gatineau to Montreal uses the 417 and therefore has a stop at the University of Ottawa.
I believe the other line uses the 50 and goes through Laval.
