iPhone bus tracking icons
Last April, Ars Technica had a nice write-up comparing CTA Tracker and Buster, the two native iPhone apps that interface with the CTA’s bus tracking system. Since that article appeared, developers have released new versions of both applications, and the CTA has expanded its services to include all regularly scheduled routes, and made some improvements to its CTA Bus Tracker site making it slightly more usable on the iPhone itself. I thought it was worth taking a look at the current applications, and whether or not the CTA site on it’s own is good enough to stand on its own while browsing on the go.
