Columbus — Live Transit
The COTA bus network on one map of Columbus. COTA does not publish live vehicle positions, so this page shows the full scheduled network, COTA's current service alerts, and a trip planner on the published timetable — no live claims. There are no ads on this map. Ever.

What you are looking at
The map covers the COTA service area — Columbus and Franklin County, reaching into southern Delaware County — drawn from U.S. Census TIGER/Line 2025 roads. Route lines and stops come from COTA's published GTFS. Service alerts come from COTA's agency-direct GTFS-Realtime alerts feed, fetched and republished by AutomatedTechnologies. COTA's vehicle-position and trip-update feeds publish no data — they return empty in every sampling — so this page presents scheduled service only and labels it that way.
