Navigation Apps TransitGenie Chicago

TransitGenie Chicago By BITS Lab @ UIC

TransistGenie is a public transit navigation app created specifically for Chicago. The app gets Chicago transit user from point A to point B in the most efficient way possible using CTA connections, as well as Pace and Metra routes. The app utilizes real time data from the transit authority to monitor train and bus schedules. The app becomes extremely useful when there are delays in departures and arrivals. If a connection is missed, the user can pull up new times to make connections. Transit Genie uses data input from the user, such as walking speed and other preferences to make this navigation app highly personalized.

As navigation apps go, this is a very useful, yet very single purpose app. Great app for those that utilize Chicago transit on a daily basis, or even those visiting Chicago for the day for an event or convention.
