TransitGenie is a personalized real-time-aware multi-modal public transit navigator for the City of Chicago. It provides step-by-step instructions for traveling between any two locations using the CTA, Metra and Pace transit systems.

Using real-time bus and train tracking, TransitGenie is able inform users of changes to scheduled routes, including revised departure and arrival times, and missed connections.

TransitGenie can be personalized to each user’s needs, allowing them to specify their walking speed, whether they are traveling with a bicycle and whether they prefer to walk less at night.
