Easy configuration tool
My stops
Bus & Train Stop arrival slides
First, add bus and train stops to your slideshow. You'll need to pick at least one, and up to eight.
Each slide will show all arrivals for a different bus or train stop.
First, pick a stop, then pick "Add slide" to add it to the list.
Each slide automatically shows recent alerts that can affect service on routes served
by that stop.
Preferred stop
You can select one bus stop as your "preferred stop." If you check a stop as preferred,
an extra slide will be added to the slideshow to display only the next arrival for
your preferred bus stop in very large text, so it can be seen from afar. This is
optional and is available only for bus stops. Only one stop can be checked at a time.
Customization options
Display size
This tool can display text at three different sizes, to better suit the screen you're
going to set up for others to see.
Tip: The minimum size this tool is designed for use with is at full-screen
display with a resolution of 1024x768 (pixels wide by pixels high).
- We recommend choosing "small" for a display configured at as low a resolution
of 1024x768.
- For the default "medium" size, we recommend a screen at 1400x900 or greater.
- We do not recommend use of this tool on screens at resolutions of 800x600
pixels or lower.

Weather
Your slideshow can have a weather slide that shows current conditions for Chicago
and up to five days of forecast information (the number of days shown is dependent
on how wide the display area is; wider screens show more days). The default is to
include this slide.
