What is txt2traveline?

txt2traveline is a new mobile phone texting service which allows you to get bus times sent to your mobile for any bus stop you choose. All Aberdeenshire local bus services are included in the service.

How does it work?

Bus stop reference codes are unique to each individual stop. Simply text the 8-digit bus stop reference code to the txt2traveline number - 0777 608 2608 - and you will get back the departure times of the next few buses from your chosen stop. The service allows you to customize your message for a destination, a specific bus service, time period or date. txt2traveline is an automated service and operates 24 hours, every day of the week.

How do I find the bus stop reference code?

The 8-digit codes are specific to each stop and are displayed on a small panel on the bus stop. Alternatively, you can ask the Public Transport Unit for your stop refrence code.

How much will it cost?

The message you send is charged at your normal network provider charge. The returned message from txt2traveline costs 25p. (Please note that you will be charged if you send an invalid or incorrect message).
Prices correct at time of publication (Spring 09).
