I'm a bit biased because I'm the developer, but if you're on Android you should check out Depot.
Arrival time widgets on your home screen, arrival times in a persistent notification that updates automatically, ability to be notified if you're on a vehicle and your stop is coming up, and lots more.
I'm overdue for an update on it because things got pretty busy with me, but it should still work well for most routes.
Depot From the looks of it thats what transit tracker used to be.
Here maps also has offline schedules for the CTA and offline maps.
Depot is my favorite for android. Looks great, has nearby transit options, set time reminders for them coming up etc. Depot: Chicago CTA Tracker There is also a paid edition that is worth purchasing. No ads at all in the free one. Premium users get access to these features: - Active tracking: Arrival times pinned to your notification bar, refreshed automatically every minute - Smart alarms: Alarms that let you know (1) when to leave your house and (2) when your stop is coming up (if you're currently on a bus or train) - More widget sizes: Instant arrival times on your home screen with more options for space efficiency - Vehicle sharing: Friends can track your location and get a notification when you reach your destination stop - Vehicle following: See which stops are coming up and when

I also use the Transit app but thats more so I don't have to carry my divvy key around and can get an access code whenever I need, but its also good at train/bus tracking. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thetransitapp.droid
Depot has been my mainstay for a few years now.
I know the dev also posts here. I bettlejuiced them last time, but don't remember their name!
I hate it. I use Depot on my phone and enjoy that but I like being able to look up and see whats going on when I am standing on the platform. Ads ads ads. Not like they are ever on time anyways..
check out Depot. I think it's the best CTA app.
