CTA Website Offers Real-Time Route Information

CHICAGO (CBS) ― The Chicago Transit Authority is expanding its on-line bus tracking service that allows commuters to access real-time information on bus locations and arrival times.

The CTA Bus Tracker web site provides customers with a route map with icons indicating the location and direction of each bus currently in service, an alarm feature that will alert customers when a bus is approaching their selected bus stop, as well as the arrival times at bus stops, according to a CTA press release.

In addition to the information currently available on the #20 Madison bus, the following routes will be available beginning on April 7:

1. #35 35th Street
2. #39 Pershing
3. #43 43rd Street
4. #49 Western
5. #X49 Western Express
6. #54B South Cicero
7. #55A 55th/Austin
8. #55N 55th/Narrangansett
9. #62 Archer
10. #62H Archer Harlem
11. #63W West 63rd
12. #94 South California
13. #165 West 65th.


"CTA has received very positive reaction from customers since the Bus Tracker pilot program was implemented along the #20 Madison bus route," said CTA President Ron Huberman. "We are expanding the program to other CTA routes to benefit more customers who use the CTA system for their transit needs.

"We will add more routes next month and through the end of the year. It is our goal to have arrival time information for all routes in the next 12 months."

For customers to access the arrival times of buses along a route, the CTA Bus Tracker web site is accessible from a computer and web-enabled wireless devices.
