Text messaging service
TransitDB's SMS interface is similar to the official 33333 service, but with a few additional features. Give it a try - add TransitDB as an SMS contact on your mobile phone.
604-757-0537
Unlike 33333, TransitDB's SMS service works with all carriers, including 7-Eleven SpeakOut and PC Telecom.
The number also provides next bus information via interactive voice response (IVR) if you call.
This is an experimental service. If you encounter any problems, such as unusually delayed response times, please let us know.
