RTA restores streetcar service along Canal line

Today, the New Orleans Regional Transit Authority announced the restoration of streetcar service along the Canal Streetcar line. Beginning Friday, September 10 at 5:45 a.m., streetcar service will run along the 47-Canal/Cemeteries and 48-Canal/City Park until midnight daily. In addition, the agency will also extend operating hours on all bus and streetcar routes to midnight. The service hours extension includes the 12-St. Charles which continues to operate bus service along the line.

A terminal-to-terminal bus bridge between Algiers Point and Canal Street will supplement the Algiers Point-Canal Street ferry until ferry service resumes at the interim ferry terminal location at Mardi Gras World. The shuttle will operate daily from 6:00 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. with the first bus leaving the Algiers Point ferry terminal.

The agency will return to regular daily Saturday service along all bus and streetcar routes on Sunday, September 12 and fares will be reinstated.
