What they seem to have done with the 204 and the new 20, is to connect similar neighbourhood profiles on either side of King St.
*) The 204 runs along major commercial corridors.
*) The 20 runs along residential/low-density corridors.
This is useful to GRT, because now that the east and west routes are combined, it lets them assign different frequencies to the different corridor types, without having confusing short turns at King St.
My hope is that in the future, once Victoria S and Frederick show a need for frequent service, they swap the branches, and run the buses straight along their respective streets.
