From Sheppard station on the YONGE SUBWAY, buses operate via east on Yonge, north on Victoria Park, east on Huntingwood, south and east on Commander Boulevard, south on McCowan and west into Scarborough Centre station on the SCARBOROUGH RT.

November 24th, 2002

March 26, 2006

November 23, 2008

As part of the TTC’s Ridership Growth Strategy, service on 169 HUNTINGWOOD is expanded to cover all times when the subway operates.

To do this, service outside of peak hours is combined with 10 VAN HORNE in a new 169A branch, operating eastbound from Don Mills station via north on Don Mills, east on Van Horne, south on Victoria Park to the rest of the Huntingwood route. Westbound buses operate along Huntingwood, then north on Victoria Park to west on Pleasant View and north on Brian Drive to Van Horne, following the 10 VAN HORNE route back to Don Mills station.

Service is moved from Malvern Garage to Eglinton (Comstock) garage, and the service is made accessible on this date.

May 8, 2011

As a result of budget reallocations, weekday late evening service, Saturday evening service and all day Sunday service eliminated.

September 2, 2012

Service moved from Eglinton (Comstock) garage to Wilson garage.

June 22, 2014

As part of a system-wide reorganization of route branch designations, buses on the regular 169 HUNTINGWOOD branch are redesignated 169B.

September 6, 2015

Weekday late evening, Saturday evening and Sunday service restored. Buses operate at intervals of 30 minutes or better seven days a week, whenever the subway is open.

April 1, 2018

All late evening service is removed on weekends and holidays due to low ridership. Unlike the previous cuts in 2011 with service partially provided by the 10 VAN HORNE, the last eastbound trip departs Don Mills station at 10:15 p.m. and the last westbound trip departs Scarborough Centre at around 10 p.m with no service operating on Van Horne during these periods.

March 28, 2021
