But, as proposed, the 4 is proposed to terminate there, rather than connecting the Midtown neighbourhoods on either side of King. I don't see the sense: it could be turned into a crosstown route providing connection to Ion at GRH, and also direct connections between those neighbourhoods.
So it is still useful, then? But it would be better if it connected across to the other side King St? Do I understand your post correctly?
Is which still useful? The 4 or the 28? Both are probably useful for some people. I think the 4 would be a lot more useful as a crosstown route, offering connection to the GRH station as proposed.
You asked "Why would Midtowners prefer to take the bus to Lancaster, rather than connecting with the LRT?" It's not a choice between the two. I don't understand why the 4 would terminate at GRH instead of continuing east (similar to how it does now, or ideally even further).
