RedPost in the Chicago Trib
They don’t mention us by name, but they’re talking about us:
Commuters stopping at the Red Hen Bread bakery on North Milwaukee Avenue in Bucktown can also check to see when the next CTA bus will pull up at the corner, without leaving the cinnamon-toasty warmth of the store.
Estimated bus-arrival times sent directly from the Chicago Transit Authority’s Bus Tracker system stream across the bottom of a flat-screen monitor installed at Red Hen and eight other businesses by the Wicker Park Bucktown Chamber of Commerce. Community news and information about upcoming events fill the rest of the screen.
“It’s still new, so a lot of people haven’t figured out what it is yet. But once people realize it’s Bus Tracker they’re all excited because it means you don’t have to stand in the cold for that long,” said Lisa Dellagiarino, 28, an employee at Red Hen, who commutes to work from her home in Logan Square.
