Use the OneBusAway application on your mobile phone to get real time information for your bus!
Real-time information is available for most MTS bus routes and Trolley lines. Please note that times provided may be estimated times, and it’s best to arrive to your stop early. While there are many stops along each route, only specific stops (time points) require the operator to stop and wait per the route schedule. MTS recommends using the bus stop ID for the timepoint prior to your stop when using OneBusAway.

iPhone - How to Read the Arrival Times List
The arrival times list will display the next arrivals at the stop you have selected as well as any buses which have recently departed. The route, destination, and arrival time in minutes will be shown in the list. Because arrival times are estimates, it is important always to arrive a few minutes before the displayed arrival time to ensure you catch your bus or Trolley.
If there is no real time update for a particular arrival, an asterisk (*) will be shown next to the time. This asterisk (*) means that a bus or Trolley is scheduled to arrive, but we don't have information from the vehicle to update the real time status. The vehicle might be running late, the vehicle broke down, or its on board radio is not working.
If you only take one particular route at a stop and only want to see times for that route, select the option at the top of the arrivals screen that says "Filter" Select the routes that you want to view and click "Save."
