Price: Free

Transit Stop: CTA Tracker (Free) by Kramer Concepts, LLC makes sure you always have the train and bus schedules on hand.

This app is able to easily provide you with the arrival time estimates for all your train and buses for the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) stops. All of the data is collected from the CTA train and bus tracking system so you know it's accurate. The information is sent to you via your cellular network or by WiFi.

Features of the app include all the estimated arrival times by the actual time on the clock and by how many minutes until it arrives. You can search by train run number, bus ID, direction you're traveling, destination, and distance to stop.

You'll have the ability to save stops for easy access, check out multiple routes at one time, and refresh the screen to update arrival times. The app features Twitter integration so you're able to tweet from within the app.

Another great feature is the CTA service alerts which will let you know when any service is affecting your route.

In order to get an ad-free version of the app you'll need to upgrade to the paid version.
