From the CTA release:
Progress continues as 19 additional bus routes will be added to CTA's Bus Tracker web site on Monday, April 20. The popular bus service tool provides customers with estimated bus arrival times and real-time service information. When the additional routes are activated, a total of 129 of CTA's 153 bus routes will be part of the Bus Tracker service.
CTA Bus Tracker is a web-based program that uses global positioning system (GPS) technology to provide customers with the locations and estimated arrival times of buses operating along activated bus routes.
"Bus Tracker has become a valuable communications channel for CTA customers by alerting them to the next arriving bus and changes in service that may affect their commutes," said CTA President Richard L. Rodriguez. "Customer communication is a top priority at CTA and we will continue to find ways to enrich existing tools to deliver pertinent travel information to customers."
