An idea on CTA alerts feeds

 Perhaps you noticed in the sidebar that there is a feed for CTA Red Line alerts. At the very bottom of this blog is the CTA Bus Tracker. Of course you can also check Bus Tracker here and Red Line alerts here.

I was thinking about offering feeds for the local bus routes. There are just to numerous to post here and the focus won't likely be on local stops in the ward, but on stops throughout the particular routes. Almost like the Red Line where you'll mostly see alerts between downtown and the northside. Very rarely will you see alerts between 69th and 95th.

Anyway I wish that their bus alerts could be compiled in a way where I can get local bus routes in one swoop. The CTA should operate similiarly to EveryBlock in that we should be able to combine local routes into one feed. I sincerely hope that someone at CTA reads this blog and will take this idea into account.
