Transit Launches U-TEXT for Commuters

rack-front1

Ever been waiting for a bus wondering where in the world it could be? The City of Santa Clarita Transit division is now making it easier for commuters to stay informed of unforeseen changes to their specific route through U-text. U-text is a text messaging service that allows commuters to subscribe and receive mobile phone text alerts when there are urgent changes to a commuter route.

The texting service alerts riders of incidents that may delay transit service such as traffic jams and other unforeseen problems. With U-text, Santa Clarita Transit can keep customers informed of unexpected, last-minute commuter route changes at all times.

To subscribe to U-text, simply send a keyword text message to 41411, select the commuter route you want, and begin receiving “urgent commuter text updates” from City Transit. Keyword options include: sctransit747, sctransit 791, sctransit 792, sctransit793, sctransit794, sctransit795, sctransit796, sctransit797, sctransit798, and sctransit799.

U-text is only for emergency route notifications and will not replace emailed Rider Alerts and Transit e-Notify subscriptions. U-text subscribers will only receive text alerts regarding their chosen commuter route. Standard text messaging rates apply. Please check with your service provider for applicable charges.
