I get Bus Tracker but the bus map has not come up since last Friday. Expand On 12/12/2016 at 11:30 PM, Pace831 said: It is working OK for me right now, but @jajuan reported some issues yesterday. Could that be related to the problem you're having? Expand Yeah the map hasn't worked for me since yesterday. But I can get arrival times off the bus arrivals page like normal though. I tried through two different web browsers, Chrome and Microsoft Edge, and get nothing by a blank blue screen where the map should be.

sht6131 Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 I feel like I died and went to heaven knowing its not only me with the problem. I also can get everything else. Please Jajuan, keep me in the loop if you get further info on this. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sht6131 Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Just got an E-Mail from Tony Coppoletta (CTA) that they are aware of this problem and are working with the Vendor to restore the site. Thanks again for all responding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sw4400 Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 The app that I use on my phone(TreKing) works fine. I tested it on the #22 and #152 just now, and both stops I selected show times and bus numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the bus map for BusTracker that hadn't been working for some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThirdRailVision Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 In addition to the alleged Bus Tracker issues, CTA Train Tracker (via SMS) was temporarily unavailable for about an hour today as well--they sent out a text explaining that engineers were working to correct the issue. They then sent out a "problem solved" text at 5:45 pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tested Firefox 50.0.2 on my computer just now, and the map comes up. Maybe something is preventing the map from coming up on your computers..... a flash update that is needed, spyware/adware or tracking cookies blocking it.

sht6131 Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 Tony (cs CTA) mentioned that due to recent updates to the service, it effected some browsers, They hope to have it up soon. It seems this is in the vendors and CTA`s ballpark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it worked fine with FF 50.0.2 a few days ago, it's the CTA's fault & not ours! UPDATE: I downloaded & installed the latest version of Flash from Adobe & it still doesn't work.

Had a recent cumulative update for Windows 10 x-64 Systems and a security update for Adobe Flash. Bus Tracker map worked fine before the update and still works fine. I pulled up the map and brought up Routes #8 and #9 with it, and saw the buses on the routes(screenshot included). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand As @sw4400 and I indicated above, you should indicate what browser setup you are using, as some browsers are working and others are not. BTW, are you getting Google Maps (because all the Bus Tracker display is is an embedded instance of that)? You could also do a search for "BusTime" and see if, for instance, the MTA or MCTS trackers are working on your system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand And that's the strange part. I'm certain I'm using the latest version of Chrome as other members, but I get either a white screen or blue one where the map should be. On Microsoft Edge though, things seem to have been corrected and it works the way it should. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
