The Surrey Real Time Passenger Information (RTPI) system provides live information about the arrival of services at bus stops across the county.
The majority of bus services operating in Surrey are included on the system which tracks the buses and predicts the arrival time in number of minutes counting down at the stops. This information is displayed at bus stops fitted with an electronic display and is also available through your mobile phone. The RTPI system provides confidence for passengers to make an informed and smart choice to travel by public transport.

Mobile phone service for real time bus information
Do you want real-time bus information sent direct to your mobile?
Text your bus stop code to 84268* and you will get a text back telling you when the next bus is due to arrive at your stop.
- To find your bus stop code locate your stop on the map.
- You can also find your stop code through Traveline.
You can even narrow it down to find out the time your particular bus service will arrive. For example, if you are waiting for the 91 service from Woking rail station (stop code surgdtwm) your text will look like: surgdtwm 91.
Real-time bus information will be sent if possible. If the time in minutes is not available, the latest timetable information will be sent instead.
*Texts cost the standard text message charge from most mobile operators plus 25p.
