History
- December 2005 - Service introduced to replace portions of the 116 Suncrest/Metrotown Station[1]
- December 2008 - Evenings, weekends and holiday service improved and weekday evening service extended until approximately midnight[2]
- September 2016 - Route operations moved to Hamilton Transit Centre as part of a mass re-organization involving the closure of Oakridge Transit Centre
- September 2018 - Community Shuttle branding dissolved: route renumbered from C6 to 146 with no changes in routing or frequency[3]
- December 2019 - Metrotown terminus moved from Beresford & Sussex to the inside bus loop due to water main work and multiple highrise construction. Routing in both directions revised to go via Patterson Street, Willingdon Avenue, and Central Boulevard. Service on Beresford Street, Telford Avenue, Maywood Street, McKay Avenue, and Imperial Street discontinued. Regular service was expected to be reinstated in May 2020 but remains to be based out of the main Metrotown bus exchange
