viggneshk Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Hi, I'm Viggnesh Kandasamy student at illinois institute of technology. I have created a CTA extension for google chrome in order to keep track of their bus. https://chrome.googl...ihcidjnldioaaab This extension helps the residents of chicago to track their bus information on a single click. The bus timings are very accurate as the data are directly retrieved from the CTA bus tracker.This extension allows you to: - Quickly view the bus timings (on a single click). - Once the route, direction and stop are selected, the bus location and bus ID are displayed above the map. - View the bus timings in the form of a list. - View the location of the selected bus in the google map. - Click on any one of the bus timings to view the current bus location. - Click on the bus marker to view the bus route and the bound. - Once the route, direction and stop is selected, the bus location and bus ID is displayed above the map. Here's the link to the extension https://chrome.googl...ihcidjnldioaaab Let me know for any feedbacks.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busjack Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 I gave this a quick try. First it forced me to update Google Chrome, which didn't fix a problem I had with another application, but that's another story. However, I didn't see the advantage over just using the Bus Tracker site straight. Maybe if you enlightened us.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First it forced me to update Google Chrome, which didn't fix a problem I had with another application, but that's another story. However, I didn't see the advantage over just using the Bus Tracker site straight. Maybe if you enlightened us.... First of all thanks for evaluating the application. Yes, you need to upgrade to Beta Channel of Google Chrome to install this extension. The advantage of using this is that: - It saves time when you are on a hurry to catch the bus. - Normally to find the bus timings you have to go through this process. (Go to ctabustracker.com and then click on bus times and then you select the bus) - Once you start using this extension you can directly select the bus in a single click. - Another advantage is that, if you need to catch a bus in which your friends are travelling. All you need to know is the bus ID from your friends. - Once you know this information you can just keep track of the bus and catch the bus on time. - You also get to know the bus location in the form of google map. - You can also view the screen shots of the app in this link https://chrome.googl...ihcidjnldioaaab Let me know for any technical support.Thank you!
