SMS for Community Transport Services
Confirm every pickup, send driver ETAs and handle last-minute changes with two-way texting your passengers actually reply to.
How Community Transport Services Use SMS
A missed pickup or a driver running late causes real stress for passengers who rely on community transport to get to appointments and home again. Mobile Message customers in this space use SMS to confirm bookings ahead of time, let passengers know when the driver is on the way, and handle cancellations and changes by text instead of a string of phone calls.
Mobile Message lets you automate booking confirmations through our REST API, or send them manually from a shared team inbox where any coordinator can see replies. Send from your own business name, and pay at 1.6¢ per message on your first purchase with no monthly fees or contracts.
Booking confirmations
Confirm pickup time, address and destination automatically the moment a trip is booked, so passengers know exactly what to expect.
Driver on the way alerts
