You're welcome. I may work on one for the Metra soon. BTW, I make these gadgets because they are useful to me too. I started with the Portland Trimet (my hometown) and Zipcar, but it was so much fun I needed to do the Chicago and SF Muni too. It's kinda addictive.

Yeah, the BART system in the Bay Area has an API for that, but the CTA does not, so the data is limited.

You can, although again for only those buses listed:

Click on the "routes" button on the top of the map to select the routes you want to see.

It would be cool if they added more lines. The good news is that once they do you can simply add them to the gadget and they should show up. I hope they open up the entire system eventually like the San Francisco Muni (I have another gadget for that system).

If you live in the Boston area and ride public transit, you should check out this iGoogle Gadget that makes tracking buses easy. You can set up to 3 stops (perhaps near your home/work) and it will show all the latest arrivals in real-time. Note that it only serves a few lines currently (click here to see the list of lines served). The number of lines/stops served will increase as MBTA adds more tracking services.

It’s a great way to make sure you don’t wait in the rain, or miss your next bus. Go here to add it to your iGoogle page(if you don’t use iGoogle currently it’s easy to sign up).

Once you have added the gadget to your homepage you will see instructions on how to add stops. You can click on the link at the bottom of the gadget to search for stops (on the NextBus website). If you like the gadget you can use the link at the bottom of the gadget to give feedback or promote it (on Twitter, Facebook, your blog, etc…).

The 'L' uses a different system for tracking which does not seem compatible. I might consider making a station status gadget using the information here: http://www.transitchicago.com/travel_information/systemalerts.aspx If there was enough interest...
