GSRTC has already started time table (schedule) search service by SMS since August, 2007.
I also had heard about this, but haven’t come across more details.
Today I found two things:
1. Time Table and other services are available online, through GSRTC website.
2. You can search buses running between <source> and destination by sending an SMS : <type> <source> to <destination> : to 09998805656.
<type> may be either of following
- ignore this field if you wish to find any kind of bus.
- luxury
e.g. ahmedabad to baroda send to 09998805656
or luxury ahmedabad to anand to 09998805656
If you know exact and more details about the SMS format, feel free to share.
The SMS service is really very useful and is very prompt. Also, being an SMS, gives most immediate 5 bus routes belonging to <source> to <destination> based on the time SMS was sent.
I highly appreciate this way to promote public transport. The idea is simply superb.
