Are you oh-so envious of the 14 bus route riders who can look at their Internet-enabled devices and practically predict the arrival of their next bus? Well, there are 18 more routes to be jealous of beginning May 19:
- #9 Ashland
- #X9 Ashland Express
- #X20 Washington/Madison Express
- #21 Cermak
- #44 Wallace/Racine
- #47 47th
- #48 South Damen
- #50 Damen
- #51 51st #52A South Kedzie
- #53A South Pulaski
- #55 Garfield
- #X55 Garfield Express
- #59 59th/61st
- #60 Blue Island/26th
- #63 63rd
- #67 67th/69th/71st
- #75 74th/75th
So, what's up, riders? Are you using the bus tracker? How is it working for you? If you don't have it yet, and are not on this latest list (like me), tell me how badly you want it...

I've really appreciated it a few times over on Western - and will definitely use it on the Damen and Ashland routes. All three of these theoretically connect the north lakefront (Lakeview, Uptown, Edgewater, Lincoln Square) with Wicker Park, but reliability and schedule have always been concerns. Bus Tracker helps big time!
Posted by: PCC | May 5, 2008 4:10:50 PMIt doesn't cover any of the routes I use. I'm curious about how accurate it is.
Posted by: Heron | May 6, 2008 8:08:04 AMWhen are they going to put the #4, #3 and #79??
These are important to us on the South Side............
"GOING PUBLIC" SAYS: Amen! Though I admit my bias as a No.3 and No.4 rider. I cannot wait until they add those buses, Steve O.
Posted by: Steve O | May 6, 2008 9:22:45 AMI am still wondering why they are putting all these, for lack of a better term, sissy routes on1ine and not going with the more challenging and used (okay so maybe there are better terms than 'sissy' but in comparison, it is fitting) routes like the 3,4, 79, 156, 151, 7,126, 34, 28 and so on. Huberman needs to man up and stop playing around with the toy routes.
It is like the CTA owes you a $100 and payed you $3, talking about they will get the rest to you when they can. Maybe somebody needs to take the CTA out back and show them what customer service looks like, up close and personal.
