My friend and I made a phone app 7 years ago for CTA where you can put in the bus route number (or pick from your favorites) and it will draw the route on the map for you and also draw every single stop on the map. If you tap on the stop, it tells you when the next busses are coming. Also works for the trains.. but not PACE or Metra. Just CTA.

This data has been available on s public api for years. I'm sure other people have used it how we did since then.
