Summary

Select a bus stop, and this extension will track when the next bus will be arriving to that stop in the application tray in Chrome!

Features:

  • Add as many 'pinned' bus stops as you want for simple, 2-click bus tracking
  • Set how long it takes you to get to the stop, and it will only show buses further away than that
  • Track for up to 20 minutes, then it'll automatically stop
  • Updates data every 15-60 seconds (configurable), and the icon indicates how long until the next refresh
User reviews
Initially I thought that it did not work but i now see the arrival time for the next bus; it appears in small print next to the extension's icon and it is continually updated; it does seem to be a minute behind the CTA's own online tracker which I just found. My rating is less than the maximum because I need arrival times for the next 2-4 buses and not simply/only for the very next bus.
