Fronde Anywhere – txtBUS
Waiting in the wind has become a thing of the past for Wellington bus users.Greater Wellington Regional Council has introduced an innovative text messaging service called txtBUS, allowing bus users to use texts to find out when the next bus is scheduled to arrive.
The potential is obvious. Commuters save time and money with the txtBUS service, especially those who do not have a timetable at their bus stop. Based on existing timetables, the text service advises users to arrive several minutes earlier so that there is no chance of missing the bus.
txtBUS works for you:
- Users text ‘bus’ on their mobiles.
- Send the four digit bus stop number.
txtBUS can also supply the following three services for your route, which is particularly useful for stops used by other buses. It’s easy! You simply send the four digit bus stop number with a space or a comma and then the route and you’re in business.
A confirmation of the location of your bus stop and the approximate times of the next three buses due arrives within seconds. The system will not inform users if a service is running early or late.
Got to love those bright green buses!
