About Bus Tracker
Aaron at the Logan Square Nerdery was sick of using ctabustracker.com's plain & boring mobile interface on his beautiful iPhone. He developed this application to provide an innovative, easy-to-use front-end for the otherwise useful service. All information from this application is pulled live from ctabustracker.com and is reformatted for the iPhone / iPod Touch.
Known Issues
When the CTA adds new busses to ctabustracker.com, they will need to be manually added here.
This application uses PHP and Curl for screen scraping, and has very little error-checking, so it is fragile and subject to break at any moment if the CTA modifies its website even slightly.
What's Coming
We want to add links to live maps, CTA trip planner (formatted for iPhone), and contact information for CTA over the phone.
We're open to suggestions, so
contact us
(link exits this app) with suggestions.
