Real Time Passenger Information

Real Time Passenger Information (RTPI) is the system which allows actual, rather than scheduled, departure times for buses to be provided to the public. There is a dedicated Check That Bus (RTPI) website to access Real Time bus information from your computer.

You can also access passenger information using either of the following methods:

  • On street displays - many of the bus shelters in Plymouth are fitted with RTPI electronic displays, like those in the shelters in Royal Parade, which show the departures times of the buses.
  • By text message - if you text the unique SMS bus top code to 84268 you will receive a reply text message displaying the next three buses to that stop, real time and scheduled time will be shown. The bus stop code is displayed on the bus stop flag and can also be found by visiting the Check That Bus (RTPI) website.

Text messages cost 25p per message plus your standard text cost.

Plymouth City Council, in partnership with the local bus operators are committed to improving the quality, accessibility and reliability of public transport information made available to members of the public. This is why we are working hard to provide Real Time Passenger Information (RTPI).

We hope that you find Real Time Information a useful tool. If you have any comments about your experience of using any of the above Real Time options please email checkthatbus@plymouth.gov.uk, we look forward to hearing from you.
