All 32B service is discontinued from Renforth Loop, as the result of the loop being demolished as part of the Metrolinx construction of the Renforth Gateway bus rapid transit station. All services to Renforth instead operate on the 32A branch.

Saturday late evening and Sunday and holiday evening service is restored on the 32D branch. Buses operate to Jane and Emmett at intervals of 30 minutes or better whenever the subway is open. Service is also increased between Eglinton station and Skylark in the midday and late evening from Monday to Friday, in the early morning and evening on Saturday, and all day on Sunday and holidays so that service throughout the main route operates every 10 minutes or better, all day, every day, whenever the subway is open.
September 3, 2017
This would have been the day that 32 EGLINTON WEST service would have been rerouted off of Skymark and to Renforth station at the eastern end of the Mississauga Transitway. Buses would have followed the regular route from Eglinton station west to Renforth, and followed ramps taking them to the upper level of Renforth station where passengers could transfer with 112 WEST MALL at the top level, and MiWay buses beneath.
However, construction delays prevented the opening of Renforth station this weekend, and so buses continued on their original route. The service will be rerouted to Renforth station later in the fall.

Renforth Gateway station officially opens to the public, and the route change that was planned for September 3, 2017, is now fully implemented.
Sunday, March 29, 2020
With construction on the EGLINTON-CROSSTOWN LRT temporarily closing the bus terminal at Eglinton West station, service is altered to adjust. Buses stop on the street in both directions at temporary stops approximately 150 to 200 metres west of the station entrance. Buses on the 32D "Emmett" branch are extended east from Eglinton West station to Eglinton station. Buses on the 32F school special to York Memorial (a single afternoon rush hour trip) operate deadhead via Allen Road and Lawrence Avenue after serving on-street bus stops at Eglinton West station to return to York Memorial CI.
