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.

● Strict Monotonic Guarantee

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.

● 160/160 Strict Budget

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.

● Predictive GPS Positioning

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.

● Automated Rider Subscriptions

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.

● 100% In-Memory Deterministic

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.

● Federal Equity Compliance
