Route 131 was created as a way to consolidate routes 102 Douglasdale Express, 103 McKenzie Express, 110 Douglas Glen Express and 133 Cranston Express into a single express route. In the Douglasdale and McKenzie Lake communities, Route 131 serves the main roads in the community such as Douglasdale Blvd, Mt.
