Full bus service, downtown streetcar lines back
NEW ORLEANS – This evening, the New Orleans Regional Transit Authority is providing updates on service in response to this week's storm:
- RTA returned to full bus service over the course of the day after starting the morning with service on a limited schedule while also supporting the streetcar lines.
- The Canal-Cemeteries, Canal-City Park/Muse, UPT-Riverfront, and Rampart-Loyola streetcar lines are back in service. The St. Charles Streetcar Line remains out of service until further notice.
- Ferry service remains suspended until further notice.
- We are continuing to restore our Customer Service Center operations. With RTA land line phones down, we are operating Rideline and Paratransit Reservationists at a reduced capacity and ask callers to be patient and keep trying.
RTA will continue to communicate service adjustments and other information at norta.com/francine, in real-time via its Le Pass app, and partnering with NOLA Ready. Text NOLAREADY to 77295 for alerts. For more RTA information, follow @neworleansrta on X (formerly Twitter).
We thank our riders for their patience as we work to fully restore all of our services.
