Where's My Bus?

Wondering when your next bus will arrive? Text or call our "Where’s My Bus" service to find out.


We’re making travelling with us easier, faster and better. Where’s My Bus will tell you when your GO bus is going to arrive at your street stop in real-time. It’s also available for most of the school stops our buses serve.

Our GO bus stop signs have Where's My Bus ID numbers, making it even easier to find out when your next bus is going to arrive.

The signs have a black and white colour scheme and reflective elements for greater visibility. The (T) for Transit helps make it easier to identify a transit stop or station, providing access to a connected, regional transit network.

A few tips

  • If you’re texting for information, press ‘r’ to refresh results
  • Text ‘HELP’ for different commands and language settings
  • ‘START’ and ‘STOP’ aren’t active commands as this isn’t a subscription service
