===History===
*'''September 2005''' - To provide local service along the northern portion of [[York Region Transit route 'Viva Blue'|Viva Blue]] between [[Newmarket GO Bus Terminal]] and [[York Region Transit Bernard Terminal|Bernard Terminal]], YRT introduced route 98. It was the first route to operate through both of the new zone boundaries, requiring a 2-zone fare. Even though Viva service would not be extended north of Bernard until November, the 98 service still started operating in September.


Routes 98 and 98E share much of its length with [[York Region Transit route 'Viva Blue'|Viva Blue]]. Route 98E also shares its length with [[York Region Transit route 'Viva Pink'|Viva Pink]] between Garden Ave. and Finch Station.
*'''January 2006''' - Service was revised to operate along Eagle St. into Newmarket Terminal, instead of along Davis Dr. in both directions. Also in 2006, late-evening service was revised to be interlined with [[York Region Transit route 99 'Yonge'|99 Yonge South]]. Route 98 and 99 buses operating after 10:30pm do not service the platforms inside Bernard Terminal, instead service the Viva stops located on Yonge St. This makes the arrangement the longest YRT route, operating 2km further north than Viva Blue.

  • September 2005 - To provide local service along the northern portion of Viva Blue between Newmarket GO Bus Terminal and Bernard Terminal, YRT introduced route 98. It was the first route to operate through both of the new zone boundaries, requiring a 2-zone fare. Even though Viva service would not be extended north of Bernard until November, the 98 service still started operating in September.
  • January 2006 - Service was revised to operate along Eagle St. into Newmarket Terminal, instead of along Davis Dr. in both directions. Also in 2006, late-evening service was revised to be interlined with 99 Yonge South. Route 98 and 99 buses operating after 10:30pm do not service the platforms inside Bernard Terminal, instead service the Viva stops located on Yonge St. This makes the arrangement the longest YRT route, operating 2km further north than Viva Blue.
  • September 5, 2010 - To prevent confusion, with 'North' suffix was removed from route signs.
  • November 15, 2010 - Route 98E was introduced, operating two trips in the afternoon express north from Finch Station to Industrial Pkwy., then making all stops to Newmarket GO Bus Terminal.
