Have you ever been waiting at an NCSU bus stop and wanted to know where your bus was, but not had a laptop to access Transloc's wonderful TVS system? Well, now you can access it from anywhere with cell phone coverage! I have set up a system that allows anyone to send a text (SMS) message to tvstext@michaelmarley.com containing an NCSU Wolfline route number (1-9,11), or a comma-separated list of route numbers, and recieve a response containing the location of each bus traveling that route. For non-numbered routes (Werewolf and Wolfprowl) simply enter "werewolf" or "wolfprowl" respectively in place of a number. For Limited Service routes, enter "ls" directly before the number (ie. "ls7"). For Route 8a (Mid-day Textiles), enter "8a". To get a list of the currently-active routes, send "list". You can get some basic statistics for the system here. The service is, of course, entirely free; however standard text messaging rates may apply depending on your cell phone plan. This service is neither provided by or affiliated with Transloc, Inc in any way. Report any problems to me (michael@michaelmarley.com), not Transloc.
