  • October 16, 2005 - New early evening service on weekdays and Saturdays, and during the daytime on Sundays and Holidays to Finch Avenue East is introduced on branch 134. As a result, short turn branch 134A to McLevin is eliminated.
  • November 23, 2008 - Late evening service on weekdays and Saturdays and all day service on Sundays and holidays is added on branch 134 to Finch via Tapscott.
