Better would be if the 4 was a crosstown, continuing along Union and Margaret as now and then continuing east on Guelph to Lancaster or beyond. I admit I’m not sure what would be the best way to serve Belmont Ave in that case, though.
Why would Midtowners prefer to take the bus to Lancaster, rather than connecting with the LRT?
The 4 is intended to connect with Ion at Grand River Hospital, so that's their connection with the LRT (or the 6 or the 18, depending on who specifically we're talking about). 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.
