CTA increasing service information on screens

A new “Passenger Information Bar” will appear across the bottom of the digital screens installed at Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) rail stations. 

The bar, or “flip,” will provide train arrival times for upcoming trains, as well as real-time information on service delays and disruptions, allowing customers to see information continuously. 

“CTA is committed to providing our customers as much information as possible to help them make informed commuting decisions,” said CTA President Dorval R. Carter, Jr. “We are pleased that we’re able to leverage our expansive collection of digital displays, which have improved commuting significantly, to increase the amount of helpful information we’re providing to CTA riders.”

The new screen layout will roll out to screens on rail station platforms later in 2018.
