Bus in the map

The version before this shows where the bus approximately in the map, the bus tracker. I prefer it that way rather than knowing the arrival times since the arrival times will keep changing over time. I rather see where my bus is in the map. Hopefully can add it back in the later version. This app has a lot of things that can be improve and others have pointed them out. However, the bus tracker is for me the best feature in this app. Really hope you can bring it back.

As the title said, this app needs much more improvement despite being advertised as an application with the ability to ease your journey. This app does not show the correct estimated time of arrival, of which was the reason I was forcefully asked to download and try by their customer service representative on twitter. It will show you which line and bus you should take and if you’re lucky enough, the time when the bus would arrive. Some places might not be registered yet on the app such as my the area where I worked at in Balakong. If you need to find the ETA of a bus at a specific bus stop, you will need to remember the full name indicated at the stop, or else it won’t show up in the search bar. All in all, if you’re hoping to find the timetable for your bus line, this isn’t the application I’d suggest you to use nor should you try their journey planner on the website as it is just as unreliable.

Developer Response ,

Dear Eddy, duly apologise for any inconvenience caused. We will take you feedback seriously and will work to improve the app it in every update. For any suggestions or feedbacks, do email us at [email protected]. Thank you.

Unreliable bus timing

T778. There isn’t much people taking the bus during non peak hours and the weekend but this affect my daily schedule. There’s a bus daily timetable printed out however sometimes the bus isn’t operating. I’m not sure this caused the driver, perhaps they are not scheduled to work. This cannot be because the bus runs daily. This App estimated time of arrival do not reflect similarly the same. For example, the bus arrived at 4.20pm but this app shows the next bus to arrive at 11pm. There’s no indication where the bus is and the GPS tracking in the map isn’t showing. I’m hoping the app can be improve, to at least update if the bus is operating/breakdown/maintenance so I won’t waste my time waiting at the bus stop.

More than 127 bus routes lace the City of Chicago and 35 suburbs. CTA buses stop at posted signs that show the numbers, names and descriptions of routes which stop there.

The destination sign above the bus windshield shows the route number, route name, and destination. If it's the bus you want, remain on the curb and raise your arm to indicate to the operator that you intend to board.

Pay your exact fare into the fare box, or use a reloadable Ventra Card, a contactless bankcard, or the wallet app on your mobile phone. Simply tap the media on the reader and board the bus.

Today's 'L' system has eight rapid transit routes and consists of 145 stations. Purchase a Ventra Card from the vending machine, use a contactless bankcard, or the wallet app on your mobile phone. Simply tap the media on the turnstile to pay your fare.  At station entrances, signs (usually overhead) list the train routes serving that station. Purchase a Ventra Card from the vending machine or use your contactless bank card at the turnstile to pay your fare . When a train arrives, look at the destination shown on the front and side signs, and decide whether to board. Please let exiting passengers leave the train before you board.

Aboard trains, maps are displayed above doorways. Stops and connections are announced at each stop. For more information about CTA visit their website at transitchicago.com .

Unattended Stations: Use a Ventra Card, a contactless bankcard, or the wallet app on your mobile phone at auxiliary entrances to stations equipped with turnstiles or high barrier gates.

Metra Trains

Metra stations are located in all six counties and Chicago. You can buy Metra tickets and passes at Metra vending machines, or in the Ventra app. When the train arrives, simply get on board, find a seat and place your ticket in the metal clip in front of you. Let the conductor know it's your first time traveling aboard Metra, and they'll be happy to help you if you have any questions or concerns about your trip. If you are traveling to a station you are unfamiliar with, ask the conductor if the doors on your car open at that station.

If you use the Ventra App to purchase a ticket, activate your ticket when you board your train. Show it to the conductor when they come around. The conductor may ask you to “touch” or “tap” the ticket on your screen—tapping the ticket will change its color on every tap and prove it’s a real, live Metra ticket in the Ventra app.

Announcements are made before each stop. When you hear the message announcing the approach of your stop, pick up your ticket and any items you brought with you and head to the door to exit at your final destination. Customers who are hearing impaired may want to notify a conductor of their stop during ticket collection. For more information about Metra services visit their website at metra.com .

The destination sign above the bus windshield shows the route number, route name, and destination. Pace bus stops are marked with the Pace logo. Pace buses that stop at CTA stops, also show the Pace logo. In Chicago, drivers will only stop at these marked stops. On many routes in the suburbs, a Pace bus will stop at any safe location along the route - just signal (or flag) the driver to indicate that you want to board. Read more in Pace's bus stop policy .

Pay your exact fare   into the fare box or use a reloadable Ventra Card, a contactless bankcard, or the wallet app on your mobile phone. Simply tap the media on the reader and board.

Road Trips: How to Plan an Accessible Getaway

By Syren Nagakyrie

Planning an accessible road trip is getting a little easier for people with disabilities. There are more resources created by and for the disability community, and the tourism industry is starting to recognize the value of accessible travel. As a disabled, chronically ill, neurodivergent person, I take road trips every year and have learned some tips and tricks along the way.

Renting a vehicle

Most major car companies offer adaptive driving devices for their vehicles at no additional cost. Enterprise , for example, offers hand controls, left foot accelerators, pedal extenders and spinner knobs to facilitate steering. Budget can provide hand controls, spinner knobs, a panoramic mirror, swivel seats and transfer boards. Be prepared to request adaptive devices at least three business days in advance.

For a wheelchair-accessible van with a ramp or a lift, rent from a mobility company like BraunAbility , one of the largest builders of wheelchair-accessible vans in the country, with rentals at many locations. MobilityWorks , an accessible-vehicle and adaptive-equipment dealer, has rental locations in 34 states. AccessibleGO , which offers a one-stop shop for adapted rental cars and wheelchair-accessible vans, has agreements with 100 wheelchair van rental locations nationwide; request a quote on their website. For accessibleGO’s rental cars, you can request hand controls and a spinner knob at checkout.

Route planning

You can use Google Maps, Waze and MapQuest for initial accessibility research using photos and street view. Google Maps provides directions for some wheelchair-accessible pedestrian and transit routes.

Sites such as Roadtrippers and Furkot can plot an entire itinerary. While these websites are not disability specific, they are invaluable tools. (Roadtrippers does have a wheelchair-accessible check box in the search function.) You can filter by types of destinations such as national parks or museums, and search for hotels and campgrounds. Furkot allows you to input how long you want to drive each day, whether you want to travel on Interstate highways or take more scenic roads. The app will determine the best route and length of time between stops, and suggest where to stay overnight.

Finding lodging

While hotels and other accommodations are required to comply with the Americans With Disabilities Act, many hotels do not meet all accessibility needs. Most of the booking sites list hotels with accessible rooms for those with mobility, hearing and vision needs, but this information is not always verified. Do additional research on review sites and look for photos. Hyatt, Marriott, Hilton and Fairmont hotels offer allergy-friendly and scent-free rooms in some locations. Call the hotel to verify accessibility and to make sure a specific room is reserved for you.

Vacation rentals are typically not required to be A.D.A. compliant, but some do provide accessibility information. Airbnb recently rolled out an adapted category with accessibility search features and homes that have been scanned for accessibility. Review photos and contact the host for more information. Some hosts will make accommodations, such as changing the cleaning supplies or shifting furniture, but document your request using the in-app messaging system so that customer service can help if you run into issues.

Wheel the World is an accessible travel agency offering bookings at over 3,000 verified accessible hotels in the United States. The hotels have been reviewed in person by trained assessors; only those that meet the criteria are listed. Sign up as a disabled traveler or a companion and complete a personal profile that includes options for a variety of disabilities and accessibility needs. The site will provide listings that match your profile with partial, adequate and outstanding match options.

Food and medication

There are a variety of options to keep food or medication cold while traveling. Electric coolers can plug into your vehicle’s 12-volt outlet, but pay attention to the type of cooling mechanism — the less expensive versions are usually thermoelectric and will cool only to about 30 degrees below ambient temperature (if it is 70 degrees in the car, it will cool to 40 degrees). Compressor coolers are more expensive but maintain normal refrigerated temperatures.

Many hotels provide mini-refrigerators. When you know you will be stopping somewhere with a fridge almost every night, layer large ice packs and supplies in a cooler, then top them with another insulating layer like a cooling bag. This keeps everything cold for a couple of days at a time.

It’s also a good idea to travel with a single-burner cooktop — electric to use inside, or propane to use at rest areas and campgrounds — and a camp mess kit so that you can safely cook meals.

Some of the best apps to find food, restaurants and grocery stores that accommodate dietary needs are Fig for allergy-specific options, Happy Cow for vegan-friendly options and Find Me Gluten Free for celiac-safe spots. Add your favorite options to the route-planning app so that you know where to stop.

Finding activities

In addition to the apps mentioned in the route-planning section, state and local tourism organizations are good sources for accessible destinations.

National parks and monuments, which are required to meet federal accessibility guidelines, typically have visitor centers and recreation sites with accessible features. Each park website has information, as well as programs and services within the park. While accessibility varies, you can usually find information on wheelchair-accessible trails and campsites, tactile and audio features, assistive listening devices, and American Sign Language interpreters.

At state parks, accessibility features may not be consistent, but you can usually find some information on each park’s website.

Apps like AllTrails list wheelchair-friendly trails across the country, but the information may not be verified, so contact the park or land manager for verification. Among the parks with notable accessible trails are Redwood National and State Parks, North Cascades National Park, Badlands National Park, and Great Smoky Mountains National Park .

Syren Nagakyrie, the founder of the nonprofit Disabled Hikers and the author of “The Disabled Hiker’s Guide to Western Washington and Oregon” and “The Disabled Hiker’s Guide to Northern California,” among other guidebooks, leads group hikes and conducts assessments throughout the United States.
