Sometime this month, Google started to include Metra and CTA (the public transportation) locations on their Maps service of Chicago. This makes me super happy! You dont know how many times I had to find a particular restaurant or location, then head to the CTA website and find the nearest ‘L’ stop in relationship to it. It was an unnecessary hassle going from website to website.

But, of course, the service isn’t perfect. A couple locations are off by a block or two. All the CTA stops are denoted by a blue ‘M’. That could be confusing to tourists because the CTA color codes the ‘L’ trains by the Red line, Blue line, Pink, etc. And what does the ‘M’ stand for? I suppose it’s just an indicator used from another city. Oh well. For the most part, I’m savvy enough to get around.
