Bill Duncan wrote to "Going Public" with a question about Bus Tracker. The CTA's response is below.
"Why aren't all of the train stations listed on the Bus Tracker Web site?
Right now, [on Dec. 24] I'm on the Brown Line heading inbound and plan to take the No. 66 Chicago bus eastbound and want to know when the next bus is going my way. Do I have time to grab a coffee or shop a bit... So I have to go to a map program to discover that it's Franklin.
The Blue Line stop isn't on the list either. Aren't the train bus interfaces the among the busier bus stops?
Many bus routes show them but I've run across many that don't. And today I find it really annoying as I'm doing some last minute shopping by CTA."
The CTA responded: "Currently the majority of bus stops are designated on Bus Tracker using the street/cross-street location making it easier to pinpoint the stop.
As additional features are introduced we continue to identify ways to enhance Bus Tracker and welcome feedback from riders using the system."

Another idea is that all bus stops should have a numeric identifier that one could type into the bus tracker as an alternative to going through all the menus (route, direction, street intersection). I agree that train stops along a bus route should also be listed.
