[[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.
