Streetcars New Orleans

New Orleans three streetcars - St. Charles, Canal Street and Riverwalk - are very charming. They clink and clack and put you back into another era.

Historic St. Charles Avenue Line
The New Orleans St. Charles Avenue Streetcar may very well be the nation's most pleasant form of public conveyance existing today. To maintain this stature, the Regional Transit Authority, which operates New Orleans' streetcar system, has rejected adding air conditioning and making the streetcars wheelchair accessible. However, the 46 streetcars' double-hung windows can easily be opened to emit the cooling breezes generated by the moving cars so it's always a comfortable ride for a leisurely exploration of the Central Business District, the Garden District and Uptown.

Riverfront Line
In 1988 when New Orleans city officials unveiled a new 1.9 mile Riverfront Streetcar Line they were amazed by the enthusiastic reception it received. It was the NOLA's first new streetcar line since 1926. Seven bright red streetcars now service the Riverfront line.

The "New" Canal Street Line
In the spring of 2004, streetcar service was joyously welcomed back to Canal Street after a 40-year absence. Like the St. Charles Avenue Line, the new Canal Streetcar Line provides French Quarter visitors with easy access to some of The Big Easy's other unique neighborhoods - in this case Mid City and the cemeteries. The 24 cherry red cars that service the Canal Line are a great way to explore the city, at a reasonable price.
