Getting around New Orleans

D.C. has its Metro. New York, the Subway. In Philly, riders take SEPTA, which sounds like an unfortunate condition, but works quite well. And in San Fran, you hop the trolley. Paul Johnson writes in to introduce conference goers to the unique pleasures of the New Orleans street car….

“Many conference goers will be coming to New Orleans from cities with metro systems. We invite our colleagues to step on to a New Orleans street car to explore the city.The three lines each provide a visitor with a unique look at the city.

The St. Charles Line will take a traveler through the Garden District and past Loyola and Tulane Universities.

The Canal Street car moves people from the downtown business area to the cemeteries and City Park including the Art Museum.

And for those who need to move from the Convention Center to the French Market our newest street car line The Riverfront Line is the chariot to take!”

—Paul Johnson
