Ride The L - CTA

It is only good if you know your way around Chicago     Dont waste your time

Both the embark CTA and Metra apps are absolutely amazing This is a must have app for any commuter whether Chicago native or tourist The schedules are accurate and real time and alerts are almost instant for delays GET THIS APP                 MustHave for ALL Commuters

No bus info weird long routes glitchy relationship with Maps anybody that knows the cta can tell something is up and will just search google or something I feel bad for anybody that does follow one of these idiot itineraries     Terrible

One has to know the train stops in order to use this no bus information no door to door info Skip it     You get what you pay for

Buses buses buses        Bus support

Dumb why would it not have busses And it had to download schedule updates Although cta is never on time so good luck working on a fixed schedule app     Only L and fixed schedules

If you need anything but trains schedules find something else Otherwise it works fine           Good for CTA trains only

When I first got the app it was great and pretty accurate but for the past month the trip planner option hasnt worked So I think Im going to delete this app and look for one that allows me access to more than just the L map        Disappointed

Best app ever                 Omg

Youre better off going to transitchicago dot com     Horrible

Itll just stop working after about two months For no reason     Dont get it

I love this darn app                 Flipping AWESOME

This is one of the best L apps out there                 Great public transport app

Thanks for the consistency embark     Trip planner does not work

Outstanding App Gets me the info I need quickly and reliably              Accurate and reliable

Best aspects of this app are 1 the route creating feature and 2 the location services which allow you to find your nearest train station But it is essentially just an interactive version of a paper map with a gps built in CTAs Train tracker beta is better because what you really want to know is WHEN IS MY TRAIN COMING           Routecreator and locator are winning features

After realizing that I initially used this app incorrectly I have nothing but good things to sayThe Live arrival time is spot on but be sure to check Live Arrivals aside from using theTrip Planner Ian was super quick to respond to my inquiries and proved that he and the rest of the Embark team put out a great product                 Great App Great Team

Ive found this app to be really helpful thanks                 Really helpful app

Honored as the briefest lived app in my history It couldnt be more than a college freshmans midterm project Dont     Im lost

This app serves absolutely no purpose for those taking public transportation other than to show arrival times between stops among the different train lines I am not sure how this was thought to be an improvement to google maps but it definitely makes me miss the old google maps If you want to know travel times between stops then this app is for you However if you would actually like travel directions from point A to point B then Im not sure this app serves that purpose     No purpose

Whats the point if you cant enter two addresses or even one I suppose we are supposed to just guess which stations are near which addresses we are trying to get to and come from     Dumb

And all your inbred cousins If I knew the exact route I would like to take then I wouldnt need And here we are I cant use you so you are of no use to me Why did crappy apple have to sell this feature to third parties     I hate you

This only takes you from CTA station to CTA station no buses Whats the point     No replacement for google maps

Most people that complain about this app are not from Chicago and dont know the stops This app works great for me                 Great app Perfect for Chicagoans

Unfortunately the thing I would like to use most doesnt work              Trip planner not working

Google maps did a great job with public transit This app does not Only gave me train option not buses     Bad directions

Trip planner not working           Just moved needs help

Ive tried a handful of cta tracker apps and this one is my favorite because its the only one that shows you arrival times enabling you to fully plan your trip                 Better than others

I love this app                 Nice

No bus info     Incomplete data

Really easy to use up to date infogreat substitute for the hot mess that is Apple Maps thus far                 Worth the download

Could you please update it so that its real similar to the NYC app you have Touch the map to start here and end here Thanks           Works pretty well

Great app One suggestion that might make it even better show not only the time of the next train but the one after that It will give folks a chance to see what their options are if they cant make the time of the immediate arrival              App suggestion

This is great in theory but without being able to track buses its practically pointless           Buses

the latest reviews for the app are either from inferior competitors or absolute morons this app deserves no less than 4 stars the title clearly states that it is used as a reference for the L not the bus system the logo is even an L to provide a negative review based solely on your inability to understand the purpose of the app is plain ignorant they apparently are considering a bus reference but until then it is only used for trains it does this very well its minimal very attractive and well designed no clutter and no ads contrary to reviewer stupidity the trip planner is incredibly easy to use it is probably not the best reference for visitors as you must be familiar with what stop youre at and where youre going so big deal its for residents and doesnt have bus support thats what it is and it does it well accept that or use other options dont be a child and affect someone elses hard work by reviewing with 1 star and unintelligible rambling              reviews are biased and silly

I miss google map Great idea from apple     The worst app ever

I just moved to Chicago from New Jersey and this app has been a great tool                 Essential for L riders

Need to add the bus system     Not helpful for locals

Seriously the most pointless app doesnt even show all the trains For example I take the purple line to work and when I check the Diversey schedule purple doesnt show up What a waste     Terrible app DO NOT BUY

so simple works everytime i use it                 by far the best

Perfect for people planning ahead and the chronically late                 Great TimesaverPlanning App

A clean simplistically designed train trackerplanner app As someone who lives here and has tried other apps by far the easiest to use                 For trains only

Many bugs inconsistencies and just plain incorrect information     Horrible

Use it every day with minor problems relating to long load times              Easy to navigate

Yes it doesnt have bus schedules but its perfect for taking the L The trip planner has been such a lifesaver for me One of the next best parts about it is definitely the fact that it lets you plan ahead with what time the train will be arriving Does it have perfect timing No But no app is gonna know exactly when the train is gonna show up Im really not sure why this gets such low reviews because Ive told all of my friends to get this app and they love it Keep up the good work Embark              Couldnt live without it

Just that Trains are great and I prefer them but there are lots more busses than trains here I cant pass routing queries from Maps to Embark CTA if its only going to give me 30 of the CTA options        Of seriously limited value without busses in Chicago

This app is not helpful I miss google maps     CTA maps

Great idea but The location services do not work almost ever Also the station names are in alphabetical order but some have two and it is difficult to find if you dont know both This could be easily fixed with a search feature Finally because I downloaded the app on the last night of the month I could not look at schedules for the next day I had to wait until the 1st for the new schedules to download This was very inconvenient and did not allow me to plan        Ok

The trip planner which is the main reason I wanted this type of app is completely clunky and the opposite of intuitive Ive just given up and gone directly to CTAs site to figure it out Make it easy yall     User
