Do I have to type the full command?
Only route number and stop name are required. All other fields are optional. To query scheduled times, include date and/or time, or the word 'NOW'. Otherwise, the service will query live arrival times.
Do I have to type the exact stop name?
Any substring of a stop name is OK. The service can even recognize some common variations and alternative spellings. Multiple results might be returned if the input matches multiple stops.
Is that live departure time or live arrival time?
For stations (timed stop) except the last one, it's live departure time. For other stops, it's live arrival time, which should be very close to live departure time.
How to enter/interpret bus direction?
The direction is same as the ride guide. If the ride guide lists "Northbound Eastbound", you can enter either N or E.
In some parts of a route, buses may travel on a different direction than the listed direction. Example: on Swan, 1S goes north, 1N goes south.
Is this service free?
yoursunny.com does not charge you for using this service.
Standard messaging rates apply. You may receive up to five reply messages for each request.
