History

D40LF #943 on route 81.

Route 84 originally operated a rush-hour diversion into the Inspiration community in 2004. When Viva was introduced in September 2005, route 84 was cut back to Oak Ridges only, and nearby route 86 replaced the service, upgrading it to 6 days a week.

  • April 27, 2008 - As the Inspiration community grew and expanded, it required more than the small diversion by route 86 buses. As a result, this new route was introduced serving the Inspiration and McLeod's Landing subdivisions west of Yonge Street between Gamble Road and Stouffville Road.
  • July 1, 2012 - Route 81 was restructured as part of the Summer 2012 service changes. Service was removed from Silver Maple Drive and introduced along Tower Hill Road and Rollinghill Road as route 86 no longer served the area.
  • December 2012 - Route 81 was declared fully accessible.
  • April 5, 2020 - Due to lower ridership from the COVID-19 pandemic, the route is temporarily suspended.
  • September 6, 2020 - Full service is restored.

Vehicles

Route 81 is primarily a 40ft route. Due to turning radius restrictions near Bernard Terminal, it typically uses New Flyer XD40 and Nova Bus LFS buses.
