Route 2 was originally operated by Markham Transit as its South Trunk route. It was renamed 2 Milliken after amalgamation in 2001.

  • May 12, 2002 - Route 2A is extended in the east from the Legacy/Boxwood area to Markham-Stouffville Hospital via Ninth Line, and in the west from Alden Road and Esna Park Drive to Woodbine Avenue. Service hours on branch 2A are expanded until 9pm on weekdays.
  • May 9, 2004 - Weekday rush hour service is added to the Fairtree development at Markham Road and Steeles Ave.
  • September 2007 - The eastern looping was expanded slightly during rush hours to provide service to Eastvale Dr., with all weekday service using it.
  • January 27, 2008 - The eastern terminus of route 2A is revised to loop on-street instead of terminating within the Markham-Stouffville Hospital. Buses now loop via east on Highway 7, north on Bur Oak Avenue, and west on Church Street to Ninth Line.
  • April 27, 2008 - Limited service into Box Grove on route 2A is expanded. All weekday peak-period trips serve the Box Grove neighbourhood instead of four trips a day.

  • September 2008 - The eastern loop was expanded via Denison St. and Elson St.
  • November 2008 - Route 2 was indirectly affected by the York University strike between November 6, 2008 and January 29, 2009 due to a high proportion of riders living along the route who commute to York University.
  • December 20, 2009 - The eastern-end looping of route 2A is expanded to serve the Grand Cornell Community. Eastbound buses operate via east on Kenilworth Gate, north on Stoney Stanton Road, and east on Highway 7 to route.
  • December 2012 - Route 2 was declared fully accessible.
  • June 30, 2013 - Route 2A is renamed and renumbered to route 14 '14th Avenue'. Route 2 was extended east on weekends from Russell Jarvis to the Box Grove Smart!Centres.
