The map will show you where buses are along the route and how many stops away the next bus is. Visit MTA.info/bustime from your desktop, smartphone or PDA.Įnter the bus route, intersection or bus stop code. Instead of waiting for the bus, now you can meet it.

Staten Island bus riders are the first to benefit from this new borough-wide technology. MTA Bus Time lets you use your computer, cell phone or other tech device to get information about when the next bus will arrive at your stop, even if you are still at home, the office, shopping or dining. 'So it'll give me a heads up, definitely.' 'I catch the bus at all kinds of times of the day and on the weekends,' one rider said.

A barcode at the bus stop can be scanned, or riders can send the bus stop code and the route number to 51123 to get updated bus information. The program, which was tested in Brooklyn and worked well, allows commuters to use the MTA website or your smart phone to track the bus. The MTA's bus time program is expanding to Staten Island, meaning riders will be able to see every bus on every route in real time.
