A Python wrapper for interacting with the CTA Transit Feeds:

Quick Start

import cta

# API Wrappers
bt = cta.BusTracker()
tt = cta.TrainTracker()

Stop Search / Reference

ss = cta.StopSearch()

# Search for stops with "fullerton" in stop name
ss.find_stop('fullerton')

# Same search but only return train stops (stations)
ss.find_stop('fullerton',stop_type='train')

# Search for the bus stop at the intersection of Clark & Diversey
ss.find_stop('clark and diversey',stop_type='bus')

Bus Tracking

# Arrival Predictions by stop ID

bt.predictions(stpid="1836")

# Arrival Predictions for a single vehicle (vehicle ID).

bt.predictions(stpid="1836")
