Service ending

Your Next Bus text service

As more people move to using the app and website, the Your Next Bus SMS text service is now used less often.

Because newer tools provide more accurate, up-to-date information, the text message service will be withdrawn at the end of June 2026.

Information about the SMS service will also be removed from bus stops and shelters across South Yorkshire.

Improving how you get travel information

We are continuing to invest in better, more reliable customer information, including:

  • Ongoing improvements to the Travel South Yorkshire app
