Buster is the quickest, easiest way to find out just how long its going to take a Chicago bus to get you on your way. Using data provided by the CTAs bus tracker system over your iPhones EDGE, 3G, or WiFi connection, or your iPod touchs WiFi, Buster lets you know just how long youll be waiting to board. Want to grab a coffee but not sure if youll miss your morning bus? Need to decide which routes to take? Dont want to stand in the rain or snow a minute longer than you have to? Buster can help.
Its the perfect app for summer in Chicago- whether youre hitting Pitchfork, Lollapalooza, the Taste, or any of the street fests, Buster can help you get there.
Buster is much quicker and easier than using the CTA bus tracker website--and we think it looks a little neater, too.
Buster also allows you to store your everyday routes for one-click access, and can help you find the closest stops using your devices GPS or WiFi location feature.
Buster currently works with ALL regularly scheduled bus routes.
