Or at times you are on your regular route, waiting for your bus and find yourself waiting. You don’t know when it will show up. You simply don’t know if you have missed your bus or it is just late. Those of us who live in Chicago know that it has one of the world’s biggest and busiest public transportation systems. We have the CTA buses and trains and then we have the L trains.

If you are a regular user of the public transportation in Chicago When Transit has got you covered. They recently launched an app with the name “Chicago Transit Tracker”. The app shows you all the available transit lines and routes nearby and tells you when is the next train or bus expected to arrive according to your location.
