History

• November 24, 2002 - Route is introduced in conjunction with the opening of the Sheppard subway. The route will replace service on Warden Avenue north of Steeles Avenue East formerly operated by TTC route 68B. Buses will operate south to serve Don Mills Station.

• September 5, 2004 - Route is discontinued and route 68B is reinstated as the duplication of service on Warden Avenue between Sheppard Avenue East and Steeles Avenue East did not justify the quicker connection to subway service at Don Mills Station.

Vehicles

Route 268 was a 40ft route from TTC Eglinton Division and used New Flyer D40 and Orion V buses.
