This is a web application developed in ASP.NET, using C# and ADO.NET serverside with SQL Database.
This project was developed by Mohmed Hira at The University of Illinois Chicago CS341
The SQL Database contains data collected from CTA (Chicago Transit Authority)
The connection page will let you know what the current status of the connection is
Enterning in a station name here. Can be the full name e.g. Clark/Lake OR partial e.g. lake **Not Case sensitive**
