Teletext
Get current schedule times for a route
Text the stop number, followed by a space and your route number to 74000. You are able to request up to two routes per request (if the bus stop is serviced by multiple routes), just leave a space between the two routes when texting your stop and route numbers.
For example: text the message 5156 3 to 74000 to get information on the next Route 3 arriving at stop #5156.
PLEASE NOTE - for MAX route information, you will need to use the specific MAX line's abbreviation in place of the route number. For example: text the message 5156 MG to 74000 to get information on the next MAX Green arriving at stop #5156.
MAX Yellow is MY, MAX Teal is MT, MAX Orange is MO, MAX Purple is MP, and MAX Green is MG. Find more information on our MAX network here.
