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, 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. Pro users bring up a map by tapping on a route.
Q. Can I edit a route after creating it?
A. Yes. Tap on a route and choose Edit.
Q. Can I be notified with an alarm X minutes before the next bus arrives?
A. Yes, with the Pro version. Tap on a route and choose Set Alarm.
Q. Can I change the sort order of the list, or reorganize the list by 'trips'?
A. Yes. Go to Menu and choose Reorder and Groups.
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. Yes, by setting up groups. Go to Menu and choose Reorder and Groups.
Q. Can you add El trains?
A. El trains display timetable information in the Pro version. Predictions for El trains are coming as soon as the CTA makes that information available.
Q. Can you create a version for my 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.
