Quickest way to find a train

I’ve been using this app for a few years now and it is superior to the rest. I am able to locate a train almost instantly, while with other transit apps I have to click through multiple times until I can find the time for the next train. I HIGHLY recommend this app. 10/10 ✨

Simple, easy to use

Very clean, simplistic design. Love how fast it tells me where I want to go.

Wow.

Before using this app, I had to navigate the CTA's sad excuse for a website for hours. This involved naviagting a virtual labyrinth of station names, special closings, and timetables trying to find out when the next train was. Often by the time I figured out a train was coming online, by the time I could look up from my epic quest for information thw train I wished to board was gone!

Then came NexTrain. When I saw the beautiful app design for the first time I gasped in awe. So sleek. So seductive. But not just for its beauty. No, the taste of the raw power I now held in my hands to tell the travel of the trains transcended any feeling I had ever felt before, including both of my wedding days, the birth of all four of my children, and the time I went bungee jumping out of a helicopter with Guy Fieri.

Before NexTrain, I was trapped in a dark cave of travel ignorance without even knowing I was trapped. NexTrain ripped me from this cave and showed me the light of travel truth. This app changed the trajectory of my existence. I now live in a state of enlightenment and often have to have to restrain myself from floating on an enlightened cloud onto the next Red Line to Garfield so as to not disturb the minds of mere mortals. In short, I rate 5/5 stars.

Note: this reviewer does not intend or endorse any disparagement of Guy Fieri's helicopter bungee jumping abilities.
