YYZ Rapidair desk and escalators

Just a couple of random questions that have been bugging me for a while:

So when you get down the from security in YYZ T1 domestic, there is a Rapidair desk that does not seem to be used/staffed anymore. Why not?

And to the right of the desk are some roped off escalators that go down somewhere - where do they go?

The roped off escalators take you down to the bus bay, where the buses used to take you to the mid-field terminal.

Not sure about the Rapidair desk, never seen it staffed.

Isn't there a big AC customer service desk headed towards the low 120 gates which is a minute walk from the Rapidair desk?

It was staffed until around 2009 or 2010.

I am surprised they haven't figured out something else to do with the space. Every inch of real estate is valuable at Pearson.

There used to be an AC desk (maybe Rapdiair?) to the right of Gate 120. It's a snack shop now.

I remember it well. I was directed there once when my flight was cancelled an hour after we boarded and the door closed. When I got there, there must have been 200 people in line. And no snack shop.

This is why I'm so loyal to AC.

With all the new food amenities they are putting in at YYZ, it is probably only a matter of time
