In the last few days a number of COTA buses have been displaying this message alongside the bus route. Take note and be kind to one another. Photo was taken by COTA.
Having a blast at Red White and Boom downtown. Played #spotthenewflyer and pigging out on fair food.
Had some time to convert a Lego tour bus into a cota bus. Vikings as a bonus.
And here is the last DJBC Holiday Tumblr post of the season. We wouldn't be able to get to these places without a car, without public transportation. And in a pandemic, which spun off "The Great Resignation", not even public transportation was immune from the ravages of both COVID-19 and "The Great Resignation", and our friends from The Central Ohio Transit Authority (COTA) were no exception. (Plug - They are hiring drivers!!)
But, the sights of the season were amazing to ride past, going from event to event, or from work to home, or home to work to (pre-COVID, anyways) holiday gathering. You get the point.
With that, we leave you a few of this season's en route highlights from going from Point A to B to C, et cetera.
Happy 2022!
DJBC Tumblr Fall Throwback - COTA Transit App
This Fall, COTA launched their new Fare Payment System, which would use electronic payments with the Transit App, or a Smartcard (for those who don't have iPhones, let alone cell phones) to load cash on either at the COTA Customer Experience Center or one of their partner stores around town.
November kicked off with a launch party at the COTA Customer Experience Center at their Downtown headquarters. If you spun the wheel, chances were you'd get a USB Charger, or red gloves to use while waiting in the cold.
A Year in the Life of a Pandemic - September 2020 (Part 1)
Here are highlights as Summer turned to Fall in September 2020. COTA expanded its service amid rising demand, and businesses were still re-opening.
I’m a little late making my rounds today on tumblr as i went to the COTA Auction this morning. I took over 40 photos of retired buses and vehicles. To save time and trouble im only posting the gilligs here on tumblr/twitter.
bus 2831 didnt run and bus 2934 had a wasp nest in the exhaust (no wasps thankfully)
All of them are 30ft Gilligs.
Good Bye Buses 2831, 2832, 2834, 2835, 2837, 2838, 2839, and 2934
