==History==
===History===
The origins to route 86 come from [[Richmond Hill Transit|Richmond Hill Transit's]] route 6, and parts of routes 2 and 4. When YRT took over operations, it renumbered it to route 86 and dramatically changed the route. It became 2 branches, routes 86A and 86B, with B only operating during rush hours. Route 86A ran from Bathurst (looping at Castle Rock Dr. and Shaw Blvd.) and headed east on Weldrick to Bayview, up to Redstone, and looped via a large loop along Redstone, Leslie and Farmstead. 86B started at Bayview/Major Mackenzie, and followed the route to Weldrick and Walmer, heading north on Walmer, along May, Yonge, and Palmer to Richmond Hill GO Station. It is assumed the name of this route at this time was just 86 Weldrick, since buses did not operate along Newkirk, the service being handled by [[York Region Transit route 82 'Valleymede-Spadina'|82 Newkirk]] buses.

In 2004, a general rerouting in the Richmond Hill area simplified service on many routes. Route 86 replaced 82's routing along Newkirk, looping through [[York Region Transit Bernard Terminal|Bernard Terminal]], and continued further north along [[York Region Transit route 84 'Oak Ridges'|route 84]]'s former looping, route 84 having been realigned to run along Yonge only. Route 86B's diversion to Richmond Hill GO Station was removed, since route 86 now directly connected off of Newkirk. Route 86A's former looping was turned into route [[York Region Transit Richmond Hill area GO Shuttles#243 Redstone GO Shuttle|243 Redstone GO Shuttle]], operating during peak periods only. Service along Redstone was provided by the new [[York Region Transit route 83 'Trench'|83A Trench]] and a portion of Farmstead was serviced by 82's extension to Elgin Mills C.C. Rush hour buses were extended further north to Jefferson Forest, with buses running in both directions along Bernard and Devonsleigh. Service was being operated 6 days a week at this time.
