Busjack Posted June 15, 2022 Report Share Posted June 15, 2022 There was a discussion at the June board meeting at this point about a contract with Transit for an app for Mobility as a Service, which is intended to bring together fixed route, paratransit, On Demand, and TNC services. Although what will be developed is yet to be seen, it seems short in that other Transit apps take care of fare payment, but it seems that Pace will still be relying on the Ventra app to some extent, and while Google Maps integrates CTA, Metra, and Pace (but not the other Pace modes), integration with CTA and Metra wasn't mentioned here.

Busjack Posted June 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 Update: he did mention "other transit agency services." This Bloomberg article discusses how Transit App is distinctive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busjack Posted July 25 Author Report Share Posted July 25 The Pace announcement on the free trips during Blue Line construction suggested using the Transit app. I downloaded it and it instantly told me what CTA, Pace, and Metra services had stops in the immediate area. I should have put in a destination, but haven't yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
