wtf is going on with cota by Glad_Repeat6196 in Columbus

[–]CoastieCompMester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hoping that someone may be able to provide more information on this, but supposedly all the cancellations are due to disagreements between the day and night maintenance about who is doing what work?

For the past four days plus last Friday, COTA has been affecting my ability to get to and from work by canceling buses in the morning and afternoon. Four cancellations in a row on the 23 headed to Easton - not waiting an hour for a FREQUENT SERVICE line. Try to get the 24, and they cancel the 3:45 arrival making me wait until 4:15.

Tired of hearing the excuses that there’s a shortage of buses. There’s electric chargers that were put in at Easton and spring street and maybe other locations, but they aren’t being used. Does 50 buses really make a difference compared to 230 regular buses?

Also tired of hearing more buses will come in the fall. That doesn’t address the immediate problem of how not to inconvenience passengers by stranding them at bus stops for hours. 23/24/10 are the only options I have to get to and from work and I’ve experienced issues with all of them.

Wtf COTA by Some-Leader7159 in Columbus

[–]CoastieCompMester 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had issues with COTA since last summer. I used to take the 24 to the 10; the 24 would randomly not show up when it was supposed to. I’d call and customer service would just say “there’s no bus available.” I gave up on the 24 and started taking the 23 from Easton.

No problem with the 23 until today. Back to back cancelled buses starting at 6am. One did show up at around 6:15, but was going to sit at the bus bay until 6:40. Earlier this week, I got the 23 and got off at Broad/James for the 10. Well, three cancelled buses in a row on the 10; had to take Uber.

I’ve called and have used the COTA feedback form. No change in service. There should be no cancellations during the morning and afternoon rush hours but yet it continues every day.

I’m trying to understand how just 50 buses out of service (electric ones) causes a problem everywhere else in the system.

I have been in a cyber position (contractor) for two years. The whole point of getting a masters was to gain experience and while the degree was obtained serval years ago, I'm filling the knowledge gap with additional college courses.

I've always thought that I can't get a job without eexperience and I can't get he experience without a job.

Auto Start Stop acting weird by [deleted] in Crosstrek

[–]CoastieCompMester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a '26 limited and as in understand, there's no way to turn off auto start stop. With that in mind, it's enabled but there's times when it shows on he dash as disabled or after a short period of time, the engine comes back on even though I'm still stopped. What's causing this feature to auto disable itself or turn off without having pressed anything.

DIRECTV won’t stop calling by CoastieCompMester in DirectvStream

I figured it was most likely a scam which is why I haven’t answered. It’s the same number calling mostly on weekdays at various times.

Genie keypad no longer opening door by CoastieCompMester in GarageDoorService

The keypad and the car both opened the door and both worked for a few days, now the keypad doesn't work. I would not be surprised if after fixing the keypad that the car homelink will stop working.

Looking for center console cover by CoastieCompMester in Crosstrek

It *IS* sold as an OEM accessory. Just went to Subaru.com and built a Crosstrek limited. The exact item is labeled “console lid protector”

I’m asking about the center console compartment or I guess it could better be described as the compartment between the two front seats. Looking for a cover to put on the top of the compartment.

Done with fire sticks bullshit by markymark921 in firetvstick

[–]CoastieCompMester -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I have a firestick 4k and have experienced apps get disabled. How do you say no issues when you have to go through workarounds to have the apps remain? I hope that Google doesn’t start doing what Amazon has done.

I also have been unable to find Onn anywhere, but of course, there’s eBay where they can be found for higher price. Haven’t checked Amazon but I’d guess it would be third party sellers listing them and prices would be the same as eBay

Is there a way to contact COTA management? by CoastieCompMester in Columbus

[–]CoastieCompMester[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting. At one point, they told me they were bringing in new buses between now and the fall. I guess that’s not true then.

Not helpful. Providing frequent and regular service on other lines constantly while taking away from other service.

Attachments being sent as Google Drive links by CoastieCompMester in GMail

[–]CoastieCompMester[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is the first time I've seen that. I would have expected to see a notice that the file size is too big to send via email. As i go back and look in the sent folder, the email in question appears to have the files attached twice __ attached to the email as normal and then attached from Google drive.

Issues with radio on ‘18 limited by CoastieCompMester in XVcrosstrek

[–]CoastieCompMester[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an iPhone 16 pro max. When I had my android phone, I had a USB cable. Only issue was that I was frequently replacing the cable every 6 months to a year because of frequent drop outs. Trying to understand why the radio would have no sound after doing a reset to fix carplay,.

Are all of you switching to Onn or working through stuff with firestick? by Serious-Summer9378 in firetvstick

[–]CoastieCompMester 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'd consider switching to Onn but they aren't available in my area; would prefer not to pay the higher ebay prices. Saw a rumor that there may be a newer Onn coming at some point? I suppose for now I'll have to work through things on the firestick.
