Calgary Transit Text Messaging Service (TeleText)
TeleText is an added feature to our Schedule Information. With the new Text Messaging Service, customers can receive schedule information within seconds! It’s easy, fast and simple!
Option 1: Generic stop times request.
Text 74000 and send your stop number as the only message.
- If there's only one route that uses that stop, you will receive up to the next 4 stop times for that route.
- If there's more than one route that uses that stop, you will receive the next 2 stop times for each route.
- The sample below shows the next 2 stop times for routes 6, 106, 108, and 166 for stop 7596.
- After making your request, stop times are sent to your hand-held device within seconds.
Option 2: Specific stop times request.
Text 74000 and send your stop number, followed by a # sign and your route number as the only message (e.g. 7596#106). Within seconds, you will receive up to the next four stop times for the route you specified.
Option 3: Register and receive enhanced service with added convenience & flexibility.
TeleText is accessible to all Transit customers by texting 74000. However, when you register, you’ll receive the following enhanced service:
- Faster request and response of stop times by simply texting ME to 74000.
- The ability to add preferred stops to your profile.
- Customized stop times responses for preferred stops/routes.
- Important service announcements from Transit, when you check the alert box.
It’s easy, fast, and costs nothing to register!
