When in New Orleans, the vintage electric rail vehicles or
'streetcars' are the way to go. With various lines crossing the
city, most destinations are accessible by this means of transport.
Various VisiTour passes allow unlimited rides on buses and
streetcars, and for streetcar fare and route information visit
www.norta.com. The Canal Street
Ferry takes passengers across to the suburb of Algiers and is free
for pedestrians, offering fine views of the city skyline. Walking,
cycling, taxis and rental cars are some of the other options; many
tourist areas, like the French Quarter, are most enjoyable on foot.
Driving a car in New Orleans may be difficult as many roads are
still inaccessible due to hurricane damage.
