===History===
*'''2001''' - Route 40 was already operating combined with route 41 as Markham Transit's route 4 Unionville/Markham Local when YRT took over operations in 2001. The 2 routes were initially operating together under the route number 40, and were later separated into 40 and 41. Since YRT took over operations, the only major route change besides separating the 2 routes was to extend the route north of 16th Ave. to replace part of Markham Transit's route 5. Late night service was operated on contract by [[Student Express]] on 18-passenger conventional school buses.

*'''April 20, 2014''' - Routes 40 and 41 were originally planned to be restructured, as per the 2014 Annual Service Plan, creating an east-west route along Apple Creek Blvd., Carlton Rd., Raymerville Dr., Parkway Ave., and Church St. It would have connected the Valleywood Business Park with Markham-Stouffville Hospital. Service north of Apple Creek Blvd. and north of Snider Dr. would have been removed. Service to Markville Mall would have been provided outside peak periods only. Route 41 would have been used, and route 40 would have been eliminated. However, this was taken off the service changes list at the last minute due to operational concerns with the Snider Drive railway crossing, and route 40 remains the same today.
