This is not a good thing.
GRT offer a wonderfull service, very frequent to downtown Kitchener, U of Waterloo and Cambridge.
The new GO service is supposed to be semi express, but it looks like they are already giving in to lazy passengers.
Before you know it there will be 20 stops along King ST adding another 30 mins to the service.
As a driver this is bad, the luggage bay in the bus are full with luggage on most trips and now with extra stops it's going to become a nightmare.
The more stops you put in the more you will deter new passengers.
1hr and 30 / 45 mins currently from U or waterloo to SQ1, now washroom facilities along route for passengers, any increase in journey time will be bad.

I'm kinda on the fence with the new stop on King Street, on one hand it was one guy that got it added. I was on the 25A one day before christmas and sure enough this one guy was flaging down the GO bus to pick him up at the GRT stop. Should GO put in stops to satisfy 1 or 2 customers? IMO, no.
On the other hand, to me this is a logical place to put a stop, it's kinda the last opportunity to either change your mind before hitting Cambridge or the last chance to board for the same reason.
