I know a number of people who currently ride the 104/101 who are planning to drive downtown after their buses divert to the LRT line, which offsets some of the benefit of building the thing in the first place.
They haven't finalized that yet. There is still public consultation on the issue of the bus diversions.

I'm pretty sure something will change between now and then, and there will be a dedicated bus akin to the 101/104 route, especially since there is major concern about the lack of routes after the LRT line goes live.

Either way, ridership on the West LRT is going to be high. Don't kid yourself.
