Route 20 commenced service on September 7, 2015, initially serving the Queen's Main Campus, the student residences, the Isabel/Tett Centres, and Queen's West Campus, via King street, Stuart street, and University Avenue.
Route 20 was restructured in September 2018; it now travels on Union street between the Main and West campuses, then turns north on University Avenue north of Union, looping at the Princess/Albert intersection. Service within the Queen's residences area and the southern part of Main Campus, as well as to the Isabel/Tett Centres, was deleted.
