Winnipeg Transit (MB) launched BUStxt, which lets transit users get schedule information and location updates via text message to their cell phone. From the Winnipeg Free Press:
The BUStxt service is no one-trick pony. Not only will it text times for a specific stop, but users can also search for bus stops near their current location by address or landmark and get detailed route information on a specific bus. You can even ask it when a bus will get near a specific intersection or landmark.
Winnipeg Transit’s in-house programmers developed the application. Link to full story in the Winnipeg Free Press.
