Have you ever called Edmonton Transit bus link to find a stop times??? It’s pretty much a huge pain.
- Step 1: Navigate stupid voice menu system
- Step 2: “What is your bus number?” (Entering bus number)
- Step 3: “You have entered bus stop number XXXX … … … … … … … At 109 st…. … … … ..And etc.”
Overall sucky. So it’s been made better. Just txt your bus stop number to (858) 779-4952 and get the next 6 buses stopping at your stop. No stupid menus. Of course if you happen to be on Rogers/Fido they will charge you 25 cents because they are jerks (Ok, it’s because *for now* we have an american #. But they’re still jerks because Telus/Bell won’t bother you), so try our twitter interface. Tweet your bus stop # to @etsinfo and we’ll get right back to you. Sorry buslink, but we’re breaking up.
Sean wrote a more informative description of what we built here. Happy busing, and don’t be too harsh, it’s just in beta!
