Route 20's routing is being revised

Apparently, this is "in response to customer feedback requesting closer access to Charles Street Terminal." I'm ambivalent about this as Victoria should be getting more and better transit through downtown, but it has to happen anyway since Victoria will be closed for some period soon. This isn't temporary, though.

The notice also mentions that "Once ION construction is complete, Route 20 will be revised downtown to directly connect with ION and other GRT routes at ION stations." Which means putting it back on Victoria, presumably, but not necessarily.

Do you understand why it does not currently run through the Charles St. Terminal? It’s not obvious to me why it, unlike most other routes that go through Downtown, would avoid the terminal.
