Smart Technology in Swindon – NextBus
Thamesdown Transport, Swindon Borough Council and Traveline have teamed up to provide NextBus.
NextBus provides live bus departure times from your bus stop by tracking buses specially fitted with GPS equipment. You can check when your bus is due to depart before you leave work or home online or by mobile phone/internet browser:
On your mobile either:
• Text the Stop Code to 84268. You’ll get a text back showing when the next three buses will arrive at your stop. (texts cost 25p plus your standard network rate)
• Use your mobile internet browser, go to www.mytraveline.mobi and enter a street name, click find stops and select your bus stop from the list or map.
• Text TRAVELINE to 84268 to receive a NextBuses website bookmark.
Real time predictions are shown where available in the format “in 6 min”
Timetabled departures are shown in the format “15:43”
