* At your bus stop, use Text for Departures [ [link removed] ] (text your bus stop number to 62550) to see when your bus is expected to arrive.
* If you’re downtown and you’re worried clipping a light pole if you fly to the Convention Center, Link 1 Line and Metro routes 10 [ [link removed] ], 11 [ [link removed] ], 49 [ [link removed] ] and RapidRide G Line [ [link removed] ] will take you a short walk/roll/scoot from the main entrance.
