During off-peak hours Monday through Friday, buses run on two branches from York Mills Station:
| WILSON | 96 | HUMBER COLLEGE YORK MILLS STN. |
| W I L S O N VIA WESTON ROAD | 96G | STEELES YORK MILLS STN. |

During Saturday afternoon, additional short-turn service runs from Wilson Station:

Some very early trips operate eastbound from Islington Avenue, but it is rare to see a bus display a 96C sign, even though it is still on many roll signs.
| WILSON | 96C | ISLINGTON YORK MILLS STN. |
Many years ago when the WILSON route was based at Queensway Garage, a different 96C was frequently used on trips at the end of the rush hour:
| WILSON | 96C | KIPLING YORK MILLS STN. |
We hope this information makes the 96 WILSON service perfectly clear. The next time you take a Wilson bus, you'll know which branch is yours.
Note that the letter "I" is not used to designate a branch in order to avoid confusion with the number "1".

Can you help with our Route Histories? Our sources do not detail the many short turn services operated on some of the longer routes during the 1950s and 1960s. Many of these routes also operated both local and express services at rush hours. Specific routes that we require help with are 7 BATHURST, 29 DUFFERIN, 32 EGLINTON WEST, 34 EGLINTON EAST, 41 KEELE, 59 NORTH YONGE and 86 SCARBOROUGH.
