History
- November 24, 2002 - With the opening of the new Sheppard subway, the peak-period 139 Finch East express route is introduced. This route provides an alternative for passengers living on Finch Avenue East on getting to and from the Yonge Line.

- January 3, 2006 - New Monday-Friday midday and early evening trial service is introduced on the 139C branch between Don Mills Station and Middlefield Road/Scottfield Drive.
- February 15, 2008 - Route is renamed 139 Finch-Don Mills to distinguish itself from 39 Finch East with its connection to Don Mills Station.
- June 23, 2008 - Due to low ridership and unacceptable financial performance, the trial service on branch 139C to Middlefield Road is eliminated.[1]
- October 12, 2010 - Westbound service to Don Mills Station will now operate via Finch Avenue East and Don Mills Road instead of along Highway 404.
