    York University Shuttle (mid to late 1970s - circa 1977, circa 2002 - end of 2017?)
    The initial YU Shuttle connected campus to the Finch Regional Terminal. This service perhaps ended when the subway was extended to Wilson Station 28 January 1978. The second incarnation of the YU Shuttle connected campus with York University GO Station approximately 1.6 km away. This second shuttle was expected to be cancelled with the subway extenstion onto campus. (Nicol 2017).
