A good portion of the video focuses on the St. Charles streetcar line as this is the most popular route in the city (It's the one that takes you to the Garden District). However, Andrew explains where the other routes go and what most visitors visit when using them.
You will also learn your options for paying for your rides, including the Regional Transit Authority's app as well as the Jazzy Pass options.
Andrew also goes over tips on finding stops, how to board, how to call for a stop as well as when to go if you'd like to get your own seat. Included in this video are tips on using the public bus system in the city.

Just a request to visitors - Although most locals don't rely on the streetcars as a regular way to get to work, a few occasionally do, so if you see someone who is obviously a local (like they are wearing a restaurant uniform), please let them board before you to ensure that they get a seat & can get where they are going. It's good karma to do so. And you might run into them later & they will remember your kindness.

WAIT!!! WHAT!! When you inverted the seat, that BLEW my mind! I've never seen that before. 🤯😅

When I visited a few years ago I was a little intimidated by the street cars but I absolutely did not regret taking them, and highly recommend it.

Thanks Andrew! My dad was from New Orleans and his father was a streetcar motorman for years on St. Charles and then Canal (pre-64). He was a striker in '29. My Grandparents lived on Iberville near the car barn, as a 9 year old kid it was nothing for me to get on the streetcar at Canal and White, head downtown and transfer to the St. Charles line to go see my aunts, uncles and cousins living near Dublin and Oak. All for $0.07 each way. My favorite ride was on December 29th, 1963 - The NFL Championship Game; I rode the same streetcar from the cemeteries to the river all day for free because I had one of those little transistor radios to play the game. I had to stand up next to the motorman so he could hear the game. Guess it didn't hurt that they all knew I was Earl's grand-kid. Lord I miss those days . . . Hell, I miss the city.

I'd love to go back during October and the Halloween season 🎃

I’ve been wondering about this!

This ia solid support to understanding and using our transportation system. It also will make clear why so many people drowned in 2005 with Katrina. A great number of New Orleanians do not own a car--nor do they need one. It was impossile to go out on the I-10 tto the east, as rhat was where the huricane was oming toward us. It was impossinble to leave to the west as the swamp had flooded the highways. The Causeway to the I-12 was stalled. 1,500 people drowned.
I rode the St. Charles UPtown to school every day when I was young, from the Ponalba over to Royal and then via th UPtown line. What is great fun is listening to the conductors name the streets. Forget a proper French accent. It's AWe - juibun (Irish Channel accent) Ess pla -ade, DEW-main, Chop-it-ooh-las, and so on. There are as many acents as there are recipes for jambalaya.
When I lived there, in the Pontalba, we heard the jangle of the bells at St, Louey Cathedral to start the day--and depending on the diretion of the breeze we smelled either the coffee roasting, or the beer from JAX brewery, The brewery is now the shops at Canal Place.
The best time to go is for St. Patrick's Day.
If you go, stay at the Monteleone. If it's still there, go to Tujacques for dinner,as well as Galatoire's. L'aissez les bons temps roulez!

I ride the St. Charles St. line and the Canal St. line several times a year for events downtown or the French Quarter. I love it.

Thank you so much. People like you are life savers. Especially for someone who has never been to New Orleans. I am not driving so if the street cars go everywhere then I want to be a part of that. Thank you.

I've wanted to come to New Orleans since I was about 14 (read a lot of Anne Rice and fell in love 🖤) I'm 42 now, and am finally coming down for the week of Halloween. These videos have been so helpful for planning my time down there. Thank you so much! If I take any tours while I'm there, it will definitely be with you guys.

I bought a 5-day Jazzy pass online for my recent visit (not that I used it much - thanks, food poisoning!) and it was handy for buses and streetcars. The buses are really comfortable and super air conditioned, a lovely respite from walking through the water New Orleans calls “air” in the summer. :)

I like to take S.Carrolton to the levee and park there. Get a jumbo daiquiri and take the St. Charles trolley to the French Quarter.
