Starting today - the CTA has added 18 more bus routes to its Bus
Tracker program. That makes 32 of the CTA's 154 routes available
online. They’re mostly on the south and west sides and come out of the
CTA's Archer and 74th Street garages.
Buses on the 32 routes have GPS systems that let you track them.
CTA spokeswoman Noelle Gaffney says there are a number of different
views, including looking at a particular bus stop and getting the
estimated arrival times for all buses that'll stop there in the next 20
minutes.
Gaffney says new routes will be added to the bus tracker program throughout the spring and summer.
Before today when 18 more routes were added, she says the bus
tracker web site was getting three thousand hits a day. With 32 routes
online today…Gaffney expects many more..
She says feedback has been positive with most riders asking when will the program be available for *their* routes.
Routes now available are: 20, 35, 39, 43, 49, X49, 54B, 55A, 55N,
62, 62H, 63W, 94, 165, 9, X9, X20, 21, 44, 47, 48, 50, 51, 52A, 53A,
55, X55, 59, 60, 63, 67 and 75.
