MetraX: Chicago Train Delays

Chicago's Best Metra App

WHAT YOU GET • Live next-train board for all 11 Metra lines and both South Shore Line corridors, refreshed every 30 seconds • GPS-anchored arrival forecasts — your train's actual position feeds the number on your screen • Arrival alerts: one tap on the bell arms a notification and a lock-screen Live Activity before your train reaches your stop • On-time dashboard: 30-day reliability for every line, station, and train • The Late Board — every delayed arrival at your station, today and yesterday • Late Cards: turn a real delay into a shareable excuse card, backed by a scannable delay receipt • Tomorrow's Trains, plus Ride Along to follow your train on the live map • Multiple app skin selections — Railpunk, Sakura, Chicago Baseball, Vintage Comic, with more on the way — or keep the clean default • No accounts, no ads, no tracking. Your location is used on-device only, to suggest the nearest station.

HOW WE KNOW THE NUMBERS ARE REAL • Every forecast is logged the moment it's made and graded against what actually happened — the scorecard is public at metrax-scorecard.pages.dev • Over 5 million train-tracking data points across Chicago and Philadelphia, collected around the clock, positions checked every 60 seconds • More than 130 consecutive days of collection • Ten predictive factors, nine data streams live today — with event calendars next • Our accuracy numbers come from replaying the exact shipped code over millions of logged moments, verified bit-for-bit against production
