Chicago buses have an estimated arrival at most stops along the major routes. Every single but stop also has a unique number on the sign that you can text to a service and get estimates back by text. It makes using buses so much easier and less of a hassle because there's less guessing involved. I had my usual stop numbers memorized so I could text ahead of time and see when to leave, or maybe decide to just walk the route instead of waiting if it was going to be a while. They have that info on a website but texting was faster.
