La Rochelle - Real time information at bus stops now available on SMS
Through CIVITAS-SUCCESS, the Urban Community of La Rochelle initiated from 2003 a real time information service by installing electronic panels at the bus station and the bus stops. From July 2008, this system was extended to mobile phones (via SMS).
Users have now the possibility to obtain the exact arrival time of the next 2 buses at a specific bus stop just by sending an SMS (the user sends a SMS with the dedicated bus stop number and he receives back a message). This service includes as well real-time information via SMS and/or e-mail on any service change which might occur on the bus network.
