## Description

**Transit Tracker - Utah** is a powerful Chrome extension that provides real-time tracking of Utah Transit Authority (UTA) buses and trains. Utilize public UTA APIs to view live vehicle locations, route schedules, and detailed maps highlighting stops. Users can enter route, stop, or vehicle numbers to see up-to-date transit info including arrival times and nearby stops. Customize alerts to receive notifications when specific vehicles approach selected stops, helping riders stay informed on-the-go.

Additional features include light and dark mode themes, satellite imagery with color-coded traffic overlays, and adjustable update intervals for vehicle tracking. This unofficial app empowers Utah transit riders with comprehensive tools to navigate the UTA system efficiently. For route details and API info, visit the UTA developer site.

## Review summary

People mostly praise the app for being intuitive, providing routes and schedules, and offering reliable updates when it works, with some preferring it over the official UTA app. However, a large and recurring set of complaints describes the app as broken or abandoned: real-time tracking frequently fails, routes and locations fail to load, and times are often inaccurate or outdated. Specific routes like FrontRunner 750 are not tracked, and 'no results' errors are common. Performance is additionally hurt by ads. Overall, the app shows potential, but maintenance seems lacking, leaving users frustrated.

### Pros

- Intuitive, easy-to-use UI with clear routes and schedules.
- Better-than-official app experience with simple, fast updates.
- Effective mapping and real-time tracking that helps locate buses when it works.
- Useful for finding a bus on the move and planning trips.

### Cons

- Real-time tracking frequently fails or is unreliable; loading issues.
- Times and arrivals are often inaccurate or outdated.
- App appears abandoned/poorly maintained (updates seem years old).
- Ads cause loading delays and spinner issues.
- Some routes (e.g., FrontRunner 750) are not tracked or produce no results.
