Fascinating Chicago Buses

According to the Chicago Tribune:

The CTA Bus Tracker Web site has received 15,395 visits since last year from people in Norway or whose computers or personal wireless devices were registered in that country.

That's more Web "hits" than any other country outside the United States, according to the information-technology gurus at the CTA.

But it doesn't appear that most of those 15,000-plus Norwegian folks happened along to the Bus Tracker site ( www.ctabustracker.com) by accident because 75 percent of them clicked through to visit other pages on the CTA Web site and spent more than 18 minutes there before moving on, officials said.

"Many people just like to watch buses on their computer, even if they are not planning a trip," CTA spokeswoman Noelle Gaffney said.

It is kinda cool to watch the buses go 'round. Give it a try.
