As streetcars glide underneath grand live oaks and past stately mansions, they offer up relaxing views of the beauty, charm, and history of New Orleans. When riders board these historic vehicles, they are boarding a piece of movable New Orleans history.
The RTA operates four streetcar lines: the St. Charles line, the Canal Street line (covering the Cemeteries and City Park), the Riverfront line (currently serviced by the Canal lines), and the Rampart line. All lines either run along or intersect with Canal Street in the area between the French Quarter and the Central Business District (CBD). For a map, click here.
A standard one-way fare on a streetcar costs only $1.25. Please have the exact amount ready, as fare boxes do not give change. You can also use a Jazzy Pass or at one our retail partners.
