Hi, is there a list of the stops and the corresponding ID numbers for the new
texting feature? I tried to use this feature a few times but I think the
person on the phone at star metro gave me the wrong stop ID number. Thanks

StarMetro Launches ‘Next by Text’
New text messaging application alerts customers of next bus arrival
times
With the launch of the new, decentralized system today, StarMetro
began offering a brand-new text messaging application for customers. The ‘Next
by Text’ application allows customers to receive next bus arrival times via
text message.
“This new text messaging application gives our customers the
convenience of knowing when the next bus will arrive at their specific
StarStop,” Ron Garrison, executive director of StarMetro, said. “By knowing the
exact time a bus will arrive, customers can cut down on the amount to time
spent waiting for the bus.”
To use this application, customers text their specific StarStop
identification number to 27299. Within seconds, the customer will receive a
corresponding text message outlining the arrival times of all the routes
serving that particular StarStop. Each unique identification number is found on
the informational sign blade of the StarStop.
StarMetro is partnering with Let’s Bus It Inc. to provide this new
technology. Let’s Bus It Inc. provides transit agencies with ways to enhance
customer service communications.
