Find Bus Stop Numbers in San Diego

Updated March 5, 2016

Want to know what time the bus will get to your stop in San Diego for the Metropolitan Transit System?  It's easy!  All you need is a phone that has a texting capability.  MTS calls its system GO MTS! (http://www.sdmts.com/OnTheGo)



1)  Find your stop number.  Most bus stop blades have bus stop numbers on them:

• Other stops have the stop number on the pole display in the lower left corner.  


• MTS's website (http://www.sdmts.com) has the stop number lists on each route's scheduling page.
• MTS uses an app called OneBusAway for real time arrivals.  http://www.sdmts.com/schedules-real-time-mts-go/one-bus-away

2)  Text the stop number to GOMTS (46687).  You'll receive a reply shortly with times of arrival for that stop.

• Some buses in San Diego have GPS on-board and you'll get a real-time arrival for that bus. Some buses are scheduled arrivals, but you can't tell from the text you get back.
• If your stop has multiple routes but you just want to get the results for one route, you can send the message stop number [space] route number.  This will return only times for that route.

Good luck and good riding!
