- The search results are shown plotted on a map to help you find the stop you are looking for.
- Select the required stop name to go straight to the departure times.

Traveline-txt
The Traveline-txt service provides times of all local bus services in the Bristol area (including Real Time Information (RTI)) to your mobile phone via text message.
To use the service text the stop code of the bus stop you require times from to the Traveline-txt number 84268. Each bus stop in Bristol has the specific bus stop code in the yellow box at the top of the bus stop timetable display.
All stop codes for the Bristol area can also be found on the Transport Direct website.
Using the ‘Find a Place’ tab enter your postcode or place.
- You will be presented with a map of bus stops in your chosen area.
- The stop code consists of seven letters and appears after the bus stop name, for example College Green (stop pa) bstdtja.
If you are unable to find the bus stop code you need, please contact the Public Transport and Park & Ride Group and we will provide it for you.
Send the stop code as a text message to 84268. In less than a minute you should receive the times of the next three buses from that stop.
If you need times for a specific service, put a space after the stop code and add the service number, for example 'bstdtja 8'.
The times of buses will be displayed on your mobile phone, based on the 24 hour clock if receiving scheduled times (for example 10:40) and an expected waiting time if from a real-time information system (for example 3 minutes).
