Trash service

This 62 bus never comes on Friday at 8:13 or 9:12 it’s a shame people can’t even rely on public transportation

Dependility

Waiting for 48 at St. Peter, ePss says it is due now. It’s still going from Camp to wharf. No adherence to schedule. Why even bother?

The #12 streetcar

The wait for busses servicing the #12 is unreasonable

New Orleans Trip

I have been to New Orleans on a regular bases. It was so easy to use. Downloaded this app and it was a lifesaver. Saved us so much money on Uber/Lyft fees. $3 a day, and my hubby only had to pay .30 a day. 65 and older. Will definitely will use it again when I return to New Orleans.
