In response, you’ll get how far away your bus is in terms of miles if it’s far and in terms of stops if it’s close. Through these, you can find out exactly where the hell your bus is that was supposed to be here 10 minutes ago, Christ it’s too cold for this shit.ĭo you still have a flip-phone? Good news: all you need to do is text your bus stop code, which you can find on the posted schedule at your stop, to 51123. You can find out where your bus is with the mobile version of the web site (mta.info/bustime), or with third party apps you can find in the MTA’s own app store. But that’s going to change in March, and you can finally stop craning your neck to look at oncoming traffic to see if your bus is on the way. Sure a schedule lists a time, but who the hell believes that thing? But finally, every bus in the MTA fleet has been outfitted with the GPS technology for the Bus Time bus tracker, which means we can get real-time bus information for Brooklyn buses starting March 9.īefore the announcement, the only bus lines to be included in the Bus Time program in Brooklyn were the B61 and B63. The worst part about taking the bus, aside from waiting out in the cold for it to show up is being completely in the dark about when one will show up. Tab will move on to the next part of the site rather than go through menu items.Finally, no more craning your neck at traffic. Enter and space open menus and escape closes them as well. Up and Down arrows will open main level menus and toggle through sub tier links. Left and right arrows move across top level links and expand / close menus in sub levels. The site navigation utilizes arrow, enter, escape, and space bar key commands.
