NexTrip goes digital at metro area bus stops

Digital display signs that tell riders how long they will have to wait for the next bus have been appearing a number of transit stations and busy bus stops over the past few weeks as Metro Transit expands its NexTrip service.

The signs provide real-time predicted departure information for all routes departing within 15 minutes at the stops where they are located. The same information is also available on the agency's website and by telephone at 612-373-3333. Riders can text "MT" and their stop number to 27299 to get bus information, too.

Digital signs first appeared along Marquette and 2nd Avenues in downtown Minneapolis in 2009 and subsequently were added at the I-35W/46th Street Station, the Mall of America and the south Bloomington Transit Center.
