Bus tracker data and plots for approximately half of the CTA’s routes are now available. For about half of these, plots and data are being automatically posted around 3 am every operating day. I will be working over the next month to expand the number of tracked bus routes, to start tracking the ‘L’, and to make the data easier to navigate.
As the CTA generously provides their Bus Tracker and Train Tracker APIs to developers including myself, I am releasing my derived data files and plots under the condition that they be used only to assist transit customers or to promote public transportation.
Enjoy.
