In the mid-90s, Hurontario overtook Yonge, Dundas, and Burnhamthorpe to become the busiest bus corridor in Mississauga and the second busiest in the 905. A few years later, the 19 Hurontario also achieved higher ridership than 1/5/10 King/Delaware/Beeline in Hamilton and so it's been the busiest bus corridor in the 905 for over a decade now.
