I can't see what in what I said could have implied that people want to get to "Lancaster but not to other places"? Viewfromthe42 asked about the 28 specifically- I don't understand the introduction of that, nor why the 4 would be truncated at King Street, rather than continuing east. That's what I said: that the 4 ought to continue as a crosstown route. Nothing about that precludes its use to connect to Ion: it will connect to Ion. It seems to me that the 28's primary purpose is not connection to Ion, anyway.
For the record, it's probably wrong to say that service in Midtown is "bad." There has been an abundance of service on King, obviously, and service apart from that. It's a hard area to serve because of the street network, and I expect that's why Viewfromthe42 was asking about whether the proposed 28 is a good way to serve it.
