It's solid, but as a cta employee, I assure you, don't take what this app says as gospel

Rim Tim Tim - Not entirely sure what you're referring to.

It's definitely the case the app is not always 100% accurate.

Of course, for CTA buses, all data comes directly from the CTA.

And there are times when the data they send developers is actually different then what they report on their own website.

I had to implement a Prediction Offset feature to allow users to account for these discrepancies.

Perhaps, as a CTA employee, you can tell us why that is!? ;)

The CTA never responds to my emails when I ask what the deal is!

My Rating:

CTA Bus Tracker is solid, but as an app developer, I assure you, don't take what it reports as gospel
