You text your bus stop code to a number, and it texts you back schedules. I still have yet to figure out how to use the number to find the schedules in Montreal.

It does work, once you a. find it and b. figure out how to input the data required. I've used the one for London UK's public transit, Calgary and NYC/New Jersey and they were far more user friendly than our own... Have you ever tried to use STM’s trip planner?
