Penang Bridge Traffic info via SMS

While crossing the Bridge this morning, staff gave out little bookmarks re the launching of the "Online Traffic Information Management System" (OTIM) via SMS; thought I'd share it...

SMS:
(to Penang) OTIM kepen OR OTIM topen
(to Seberang Perai) OTIM keprai OR OTIM toprai

to one of these numbers: 012 344 6900; 013 388 3131; 016 339 0999

I gave it a try and here's what I received:
OTIM
CODE:toprai
DEST:To Seberang Perai
INFO:Bayan Baru=Clear; Udini=Clear; Main Span=Clear; Juru=Clear; Seberang Jaya=Clear
[Estimated time travel on the bridge: 15 minutes]>
Drive carefully & wishing you a safe journey!

Mmm, cool. I hope this one doesn't break down ever!
