chestnut streets that service began in 1979 and also had a 25 cent fare 10 a proposal in cota s 1999 long range transit plan would add a 1 2 mile street level rail line from the brewery district to the short north along high street or front street 11 the plan relied upon cota securing funding in a november 1999 ballot initiative which failed with only 45 percent of voter support 12 an initiative from about 2006 to 2009 proposed to bring streetcars back to columbus the columbus streetcar was proposed for three different routes the most popular would have been a 2 1 mile route from german village to the short north via high street the same route the cbus utilizes today the great recession affected the city s budget and paired with a failure to acquire state or federal funding forced the plan to be cut 13 the cbus was initially designed with commuters downtown workers and visitors in mind 5 cota ordered the service s six buses in august 2013 6 at the cbus service s opening in may
