The idea with ION opening is that it signals a bunch of transit pattern changes. Several of its stops are not served by the 200, and it will require current users to adjust travel patterns. Making changes all at once seems to be more frustrating than any individual trickle of change, but when you trickle down changes such that a person might have to relearn a different part of their route every few months, the add-up of those effects is far worse. When you put a bunch of changes together, too, it can be easier to market and generate excitement for.
