Real-Time Trip Planner & Bus Tracker

BCTA knows your time is valuable. That is why we have introduced a bus tracker that is easy, free, and in real-time.

Why not create an account for myStop? When you do, you can set up recurring text and email alerts for all the stops and routes you use, add quiet times to avoid interruptions when preferred and customize your personal settings. Follow the directions outlined below to create your own myStop account and begin planning your recurring trips.

BCTA’S New SMS Real-Time Stop Information

BCTA has a new number to text for real-time stop information using your stop’s “Stop Code”. You can get real-time information right at your stop by texting the stop code located on the sign at your bus stop. Text BCT plus the code to 321-123. Our Bus Stop signs are in the process of being updated with the new information. BCTA thanks you for your patience as we make this transition.
