What is a bus stop number?
It is a unique eight digit number present at every bus stop in South Yorkshire, it always starts with the numbers 370 e.g. 370 22345

How many bus times will be included on my text?
The YourNextBus service aims to bring you, where available, the next four bus times available for your stop
What's the difference between live and scheduled time?
Live times uses satellite technology to predict the arrival time of the bus provided in minutes i.e. due in 3 minutes.
The scheduled time refers to the latest timetable information and is provided as a 24 hour clock reading i.e. 17:03
When will I be sent scheduled information?
If you’re at one of the few bus stops which does not have YourNextBus coverage you will receive timetable information instead of the live time

You should receive a message within 60 seconds of sending the text
What does LF mean on my returned information?
