## History

What is now the current Bx28 began service on September 18, 1933, numbered the Bx15. The original north-eastern terminus was at Gunther Avenue-Bartow Avenue. Service was extended to its current terminus in July 1974.

The original western terminus was at Moshulu Parkway station (4 train). Service was extended to its current terminus in July 1974, and the original terminus at Moshulu Parkway was retained, with all buses ending there on Sundays until September 10, 2000.

The former Bx15A service was part of the Bx15, running between Eastchester Road-Boston Road and Norwood-205th Street (D train). Service was split into a separate Bx6 service (the current Bx30) in July 1974.

On February 19, 1984, as part of the Bronx bus revamp, the Bx15 was renumbered the Bx28.

Service to Fordham Center originally ran weekdays and Saturdays only until September 2000. Bx26 service to Fordham Center was discontinued as full-time service was shifted over to Bedford Park, and Bx28 service to Fordham Center started running daily.

Service originally ran all of Co-op City from July 1974 to June 2010, when section 1-2-3 service was split off into Bx38 due to budget-related service reductions. However, service to Asch Loop was added on June 29, 2014.
