Tips and Tricks

How can I get arrival info for just a single route?

For busy stops, you may wish to view arrival information for just one or two routes. To specify a route, text "stopcode# route#".

For example, stop #16287 at Stop V2 King William St - West side is served by over 15 different routes. To see just arrivals for routes 200 and 200B, you can text "16287 200,200B " to 0482 070 989 number to get real-time arrival info for just those routes.

What happens when multiple stops are found for my stop number?

Unfortunately, the stop numbers used by our local transit agencies are not always unique between agencies. While we do our best to send you info for the stop you wanted, sometimes you will get Multiple stops found response.
