Columbus is the capital of the American state of Ohio. Columbus is a fusion of many different parts of America. It is the home of Ohio State University. It has created a business and research enviroment that has provided substantial employment opportunities to the diverse ethnic and local graduates of Ohio State University, and other academic institutions in Columbus.

This creative-minded destination offers something for everyone. Families will enjoy COSI, the nationally known science center, as well as the Columbus zoo and its neighboring water park.

Art lovers will savor the collections at the Columbus Museum of Art and revel in Gallery Hop, a monthly celebration in the Short North Art District. Columbus is a city that invites exploration.

The region's climate is transitional between humid continental  and the humid subtropical, characterized by hot, muggy summers and cold, dry winters. Winter snowfall is relatively light, since the city is not in the typical path of strong winter lows.

Although the lakes to the North do contribute to long stretches of cloudy spells in winter.

Columbus has a public transportation system that currently consists of busses. The system is known as, “COTA,” which stands for Central Ohio Transit Authority . The bus system in the city is extensive and busses carry several thousand passengers every week.

Bus schedules and route maps are available on COTA’s website, as well as information related to public transportation services available to anyone with a disability. COTA does offer another service called, “Project Mainstream” to anyone who does not have the ability to ride on the regular busses in the system.

Project Mainstream provides additional transportation services to people who qualify. Anyone needing this special service must apply for it and be approved by COTA.

One-way ticket: $2.00
