Transportation

Home to the oldest continuously running streetcar line in the world, the three lines that run throughout the city are fun, inexpensive ways to get from Point A to B - and everywhere else in between. Twenty-four hour a day cab services and regular, daily scheduled RTA buses are also on-call to take you from home to work to painting the town red any day of the week. However, New Orleans is a walker's and bike-rider's paradise, so make a point to get out there and soak up the cultural vibe for free as you get your much-needed cardiovascular exercise.
