Another Useful CTA Tool - CTA Bus Tracker!


Tired of waiting outside in rain and snow for the bus? The CTA has really rolled out their Bus Tracker system (ontop of the already successful CTA Trip Planner)!

As you can see from the screen shot to the left, you can actually see where buses are on their routes.

The intuitiveness of this tool is mediocre. I would expect to see buses immediately once the tool starts, but you actually have to select routes from the toolbox on the upper right hand corner of the screen. Once you get the hang of it though, it is great. You can select up to 5 routes to view and then get out to the stop just in the nick of time!
