TXT.2.ETS is a hacker project that @joeljackson and I (@seanhealy) put together after being inspired by the open data event in Edmonton this last weekend.

Basically if you text us a bus stop number we will send back the next few buses that will arrive and when.

We are still doing some testing on it so please forgive any bugs that may come up.

TXT.2.ETS’s Number: (858) 779-4952
