Did you know that as a student at The Ohio State University you have free access to COTA buses with your BuckID? There are multiple COTA bus stops near campus, including right in front of the Ohio Union. The COTA bus is a great way to explore all Columbus has to offer, but understanding the bus system can be a little tricky at times, so we’ve provided some handy resources for you to plan your trip.
The COTA Bus Trip Planner: Conveniently located on COTA’s website, this tool lets you plan your trip based on location, date, and time.
The COTA Connector App: Download this app onto your phone to plan your trip and get up-to-date information on bus times.
Pivot: This app can also help you learn how to navigate your way through Columbus with COTA.
Transit: Another helpful app that provides information on all forms in transportation. This app is not Columbus-specific and provides information on public transit in other cities too.
