CTA tracker allows riders to take advantage of the Chicago Transit Authority's Bus Tracker API.
CTA tracker allows you to define alerts for CTA routes and stops; get a notification when a bus on a specific route is approaching or arriving at a particular stop.
Please send me an email if you find a problem or if you have any comments or suggestions.
TRACKING
- Put in one or more route numbers, separated by spaces or commas, and see all buses on those routes or put in an individual bus number (printed on the side of CTA buses).
ALERTS
- You can define alerts for when a CTA bus is approaching or arriving at a particular stop. These alerts are based on distance from the stop, using the shape of the route defined by CTA.
- Because these alerts depend on the bus following the shape defined by CTA, if the bus is on detour, or if the bus isn't following the defined route for some other reason, your alert may not trigger as expected.
DIRECTIONS
- Choose an origin, a destination, and the time you would like to either depart or arrive, and the Google Maps app will display the different options available using CTA's buses and trains.
Other features:
- Choose a light or dark theme.
- Show satellite imagery and/or color-coded traffic data on the map.
- Optionally keep the map screen from dimming and shutting off.
- Adjust the update interval of CTA bus locations.
- Choose a custom ringtone for CTA alerts.

I've been looking for a cta app THAT WORKS for the longest .. I like the fact that it tells you exactly where the bus is, even while its moving. So far, im satisfied.!
