About EL Tracker
We are the only completely free Chicago transit app that offers:
- Customizable widgets displaying departures, with SmartWalk delay
- Siri support and low-vision accessibility
- Multiple languages (including Spanish and Polish)
- Tailored alerts with push notifications
We are Chicagoans, who were irritated by the lack of a simple Chicago transit app. One night, we said, "Why can't I have a widget that shows me when the train is coming?" And from there, EL Tracker was born. We strive to create technology that has a positive impact on the lives of everyday Chicagoans. We also want to make traveling around the city as accessible as possible, which is why we provide low-vision support, ADA accessibility notations, elevator outage push notifications, and multiple languages.
EL Tracker is not an official CTA app, nor are we endorsed by the CTA.

Great App, Small Bug
Great app! Use it multiple times daily. Unfortunately, the most recent update appears to have broken the readability of widget text. In my case I'm using dark, grayscale icons on the homescreen (iOS 18 feature) and recently the text appears white against a white background. I can't read any information on direction or arrival time. Please fix!
