Good work so far. I am also from out of town, but rely on the Chicago public transit system to get around.
A couple of comments from the outsider's perspective: 1. When selecting a certain destination, there is an increased cognitive load when the user moves from a spacial representation of the entire system down to a straight line for the individual stations. You all probably made this choice to help keep the selection of individual stations more standardized. Could you run some usability tests to see if users are more comfortable with a zoomed in map instead of the straight line? 2. I am always nervous when traveling in an unfamiliar city. For me it would be great if on the purchase ticket screen, where you have the "Origin" station and "Destination" station listed with an arrow between them, to have a listing of all the stations in between and color code it for any changes of trains I might have to make. This would reinforce my understanding of how to get around the city. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
