Calgary Transit is offering a new service to riders that will allow them to quickly and easily determine when the next bus will arrive at their stop.
The new text messaging service, called Tele Text, was launched on Monday and is free.
The rider simply texts their 4-digit stop number to 74000 and the SMS service will send the next scheduled bus stop times to their mobile devices in an instant.
The stop numbers are posted on the signs next to transit stops around the city.
Riders can get more detailed information by adding the route number to their text, preceded by the # sign.
The system can also be customized by riders to bookmark favourite stops and routes by registering with Calgary Transit.
For more information and to register for the Tele Text service, visit the City of Calgary's website.
