Routes tracked: All CTA buses.
Q. Why is the data wrong?
A. Our data comes directly from the Chicago Transit Authority. Unfortunately, if their data source is wrong, there is not much we can do to fix it at the moment.
Q. Can I track multiple buses?
A. Yes. Simply tap Menu then Create route. Or, for Pro users, you can add any route to My Routes from Closest Routes by simply tapping on that route. You can track as many routes as you wish in My Routes.
Q. Can I force it to refresh?
A. Yes. Tap Menu and choose Refresh.
Q. Can I see where the buses are on their route?
A. Yes, with the Pro version.
Q. Can I edit a route after creating it?
A. Yes, with the Pro version. You can also delete the route by long-pressing it, then creating it again.
Q. Can I be notified __ minutes before the next bus arrives?
A. Yes, with the Pro version.
Q. Can I change the sort order of the list, or reorganize the list by 'trips'?
A. Soon, as a part of the Pro version.
Q. I have multiple possible buses I can take from a given stop, and I would like to sort by stop instead of by route. Can I do that?
A. Soon, as a part of the Pro version.
Q. Can you add El train __, Metra line __, or Pace bus __?
A. No. I can, and plan to, load the timetables for these routes into the application however. That way you can at least see when the bus was supposed to arrive.
Q. Can you create a version for ___ city?
A. Possibly. If that city has a similar tracking website available to the City of Chicago Bus Tracker, then possibly. However, Chicago is where I live and it's my priority at the moment. If your city doesn't track its buses/trains, I unfortunately cannot help you.
