In November 2018, route 41E was replaced by 941 Keele Express.

Sheppard West station (then named Downsview ) was opened in 1996 as a one-stop extension north of Wilson station .

1364-508: The fourth-quarter 2009 school term. During construction, it was discovered that a gas pipeline was closer to the surface than had been thought, so the busway in the hydro corridor had to be redesigned to accommodate it. This caused it to be delayed, and the only part that was open for the fourth-quarter 2009 school term was the busway within York University, which started operation on September 6, 2009. Consequently, route 196 buses continued to use Keele Street and Sheppard Avenue. The final cost of

The name change cost $ 800,000, with most of the funds going towards the reconfiguration of the Toronto Rocket subway trains' automated announcement system and destination signs, which was already required for the subway extension. Of this amount, $ 150,000 was used for updating signs and maps on TTC vehicles and properties. Prior to
