Stop Code at a Bus Stop
At bus stops, look for the green "MTA Bus Time" signs on bus stop pole boxes that have instructions on how to access MTA Bus Time via SMS/text message for the stop you're currently at (the top sign), or any other stop along the route (the bottom sign).  Text the 6-digit stop code (also add your route for best results) to 511123 to get info on upcoming bus arrivals for that stop.

If you have a smartphone, you can also scan a QR code using the instructions below to be directed to a mobile webpage for that stop.
