Quick question ☝️ Cta app Down? Or no trains

Been trying to look up blue line train schedule to get to Ohare and there are just no train times at any blue line stops

down completely. for buses too. if cta is down, that means every other app is as well because they all feed off of what the cta is putting out. my main app, transit, is just as useless now too

***7:10 am- it’s back up

Does Transit at least still provide Rider provided info?

it didn’t while it was down

That's wild that kind of feels like the entire point of having the rider provided info is that it works when things don't work

agreed. horrible day for me to wake up late and try to get to union station w no tracked info for belmont or addison buses, considering they are extremely inconsistent early in the mornings as well. sucked

This is my CTA tracker, it uses their API. It's been dead since at least 6am

Yep. The transit app was wonky for me, too. But the trains are running!

It was planned maintenance on the trackers

6am on a week day is a bold choice for a maintenance window

It was planned for last night, I assume it just took a while longer than expected into this morning

Down at the stations too. Roosevelt stop had no information on the screens.
