Welcome to the Map Beta!

Use the map above to explore Chicago's bus lines.

  • Click a route or use the search bar to open route-specific details.
  • Use the filter to compare the performance of different bus lines across Chicago.

Note: From November 2022 until early March 2023 we showed the Fulleron #74 bus on the map. In early March 2023 we removed it because we discovered that a data bug (in the source data from the CTA) for that route is more widespread than we thought and it threw the accuracy of the data displayed for the #74 into question. We may add the #74 back to the map if we find a way to address the bug.
