==History==
===History===
[[Aurora Transit]] first operated a 'Aurora North' route. It was later taken over by [[Newmarket Transit]], and the route was named A2 Aurora Centre Plaza. A2 was later taken  over by [[York Region Transit|YRT]], which was when they renumbered it to 32 Aurora South. It had a much different route, and was more north-south orientated than the current east-west operation. 32 ran from Aurora Centre Plaza roughly south-west along Wellington and Yonge to Henderson, and along McClellan, Bathurst and Sideroad 15 to Seneca College.

In September 2005, with the looming introduction of [[York Region Transit route 'Viva Blue'|Viva Blue]] and route [[York Region Transit route 33 'Wellington'|33]], YRT rerouted both routes [[York Region Transit route 31 'Aurora North'|31]] and 32 to operate primarily along Wellington. 32 was switched to run along Wellington from Bathurst to Bayview, now looping on Stone Rd.. This rerouting also allowed the replacement of the [[York Region Transit Aurora/Newmarket area GO Shuttles|Aurora GO Shuttles]], routes 220 and 221.
