bustrackerMonday is the big day when the updated software we developed is going live in Chicago. Chicago bus riders will be getting email and text message alert capability as well as a bunch of other enhancements. The Chicago Tribune published an article about it today.

Beginning Monday, May 18, CTA customers can sign up to receive customized scheduled e-mails that will provide estimated times for the next buses arriving at a customer’s preferred bus stop(s). Information can be sent to both a customer’s e-mail address and mobile device as a text message.

This should be very cool. If you live in Chicago, be sure to register on the site and check it out. And be sure to leave your comments. I would love to read them.
