Bus Tracker Shelter Displays
We know you love CTA Bus Tracker SM and we know you’d like it to be in more places. To help you spend less time looking up
arrival times on your phone or craning your neck to see if a bus is coming, installed LED screens with audio at 150 bus shelters around town. Plans are in the works to equip another 250 additional bus shelters with the CTA Bus Tracker LED screens and audio.
These new shelter displays tell you when the next buses are estimated to arrive, for all routes that serve the shelter. Next time you are at a bus shelter, make sure to look up!
With the push of the button, these signs even read those arrivals aloud -- helping to make the CTA Bus Tracker service more accessible to people with disabilities.

Shelter locations
We have worked hard to pick bus stops that benefit communities across the city, assist you with your connection to Metra or Pace, and service a lot of riders each day.
Presently, we have installed the first sign on the inbound bus shelter at Lake Park Avenue and Hyde Park Boulevard on the South Side. As we add more signs, we'll be updating a list of the locations on this page.
Map
This map shows where the initial 150 shelters are currently slated to be installed.

Accessibility
Each sign is equipped with a push button and speaker to announce the estimated arrival times for our riders with visual impairments. The push button is located on one of the inner poles, closest to the street. Push the button once and a speaker inside the shelter will announce upcoming arrivals.
