0 posts0 participants0 posts today

Schonmal als Ankündigung: Am 1. Mai 2025 wird der OV H33 die Burgruine Lichtenberg (DL-04278) bei Salzgitter erobern und mit Antennen bestücken um sich am #cota World Castle Award zu beteiligen.
Außerdem wollen wir die Gelegenheit nutzen, Besuchern einen Einblick in die vielfältigen Spielarten des Amateurfunks zu bieten.

Via COTA: All transit stops on E. Weber Rd. between I-71 and Cleveland Ave. will close on Monday, Dec. 16.

Line 11 will return to its regular route on E. Hudson St. from McGuffey Rd. to Joyce Ave. Line 31 will return to its regular route on E. Hudson St. from N. High St. to Parkwood Ave.

Continued thread

Notes from the portion of the meeting:

- Frequency improvements
- Lines 1, 2, 10, and CMAX now run until the 11 p.m. Downtown lineup
- Line 35 all-day service to New Albany
- No planned service increases in January; check back in May
- Big bus-driver hiring event coming up; need total 600 drivers. Want to drive a bus?

A bus driver asked some great questions in tonight's hearing: COTA has more operators now than it did in 2016; why can't we provide late-night service now when we did then? (response: scheduling) Why is driver scheduling so bad? An 8-hour workday is so split up that you're spending 18h away from home.

@betterstreetschicago /#MORPC's plans for BRT in Columbus will take 7-8 years to be built, if they get the funding to do the road work. isn't interested in building out high-frequency transit through increased service, and there's no appetite in the Statehouse for other forms of high-capacity transit. You might get BRT before us.
