Because of the hospitality areas that are along the top of the hill, I think a lot of people may incorrectly assume the entire area along the front straight is off-limits to everyone without some kind of corporate pass.

The long lines of vehicles and waits to get in and out are not something they should be bragging about. Mosport needs to work with a bus company to do something like
this, at the Sonoma Nascar race, just to point it out as an example:

Seventeen locations throughout Northern California are offering shuttle buses to the racetrack, but several of them already are sold out.

I don't know why they don't already do this. It shouldn't be very difficult. Pretty much every big event (golf tournaments, air shows, music festivals, even
NFL teams) that happens in a rural location does it. The track and the bus company (like RallyBus, Bus.com, etc.) mention each other in their advertising and on their websites. The bus company charges for the trip, while the track sells more tickets to the race to bus loads of people who otherwise probably wouldn't attend, particularly younger people and urbanites who maybe don't own cars, or one car families where one parent could then leave their car at home for the other one. The buses would load and unload at a different entrance (maybe the Turn 4 one you mentioned) and at least partly avoid the lines and waits.
