Latest reviews of MobileCTA - The Chicago CTA App app for iPhone and iPad
If you were in Chicago, you would have to use this app. Its really good and show to you the alternatives about bus routes. You have to be connected to use it.
The description for the app needs to do a better job of promoting the fact that the app works with CTA in Chicago. I only saw Boston CTA mentioned. I feel like Ive downloaded all of them and this one does all of the same functionality as the others, even better in some cases. MOST IMPORTANTLY: There were route updates in December and this was the only app I could find that showed the updates! And this was over a week later that I was looking for an app. Other apps were showing routes that didnt exist anymore and stops that some routes didnt stop at anymore. Thank you!
I have lived in Chicago all my life and this app gives to worst possible routes. It even tells me to walk for 20 to 30 mins to the first bus stop when I know I can take a bus on the closer and get there faster.
I used this app everyday when I was in Chicago. Really helpful. Thanks!
If you need a bus stop, or which route to take is very useful!!
