MetroSMS™: Instant Bus Arrivals by Text Message
Give riders live bus countdowns over standard text messaging. Commuters simply text a stop code or street corner to receive immediate arrival times — no app download or data plan needed.
Carrier-Grade Architecture
Engineered from First Principles
Sub-second response latencies backed by mathematical arrival smoothing and cryptographic carrier verification.
Monotonic Countdown Guard
Eliminates GPS drift jitter. When a bus is within 3 minutes of a stop, predicted arrivals are mathematically guarded so countdowns never jump backward in successive rider queries.
Single-Segment GSM-7 Packing
Every message strictly conforms to a single 160-character GSM-7 carrier segment. Zero split-message fragmentation, zero carrier overage charges, and 100% deliverability on prepaid devices.
Predictive GPS Positioning
Predictive GPS positioning using scheduled arrivals and historical traffic conditions continuously dampens traffic stoplight spikes and temporary signal holds, delivering accurate arrival estimates.
MetroAlert™ & MetroRemind™
Riders text `ALERT 66` or `REMIND 15` for proactive detour bulletins, snow route notices, and arrival countdown alerts. Fully autonomous opt-in and TCPA-compliant unsubscribe.
Bilingual Semantic Parsing
Handles informal commuter queries in English and Spanish ("Lomas y San Mateo", "Bus 66 East", "parada 1042"). Sub-15ms inverted GTFS lookups without external AI API dependencies.
Title VI & Digital Equity
Over 30% of transit riders have prepaid data restrictions or basic non-smartphones. MetroSMS bridges the digital divide with 100% universal access on any cellular phone.
