Cabs are more like 30-32 one way. We do have busses.
NEW ORLEANS LOUIS ARMSTRONG INT'L AIRPORT (MSY)
Jefferson Transit (JeT) offers bus service to downtown New Orleans on route E-2,
Airport Route. Pick up the bus on the top level outside of Delta ticketing on the
outside island.
WEEKDAYS FROM 5:20am UNTIL 6:14pm
Buses run about every 40 minutes from 5:20am until 6:14pm weekdays. During
these times, the bus will take you into New Orleans and drop you off about two blocks
from the French Quarter. Downtown and French Quarter hotels are within walking
distance of the bus stop, but I suggest you have a map as this area can be
confusing. Fare is $2.00 to go into New Orleans.
WEEKDAYS AFTER 6:14pm and WEEKENDS AND HOLIDAYS
On weekdays, there is bus service from the airport at 7:12pm, 8:16pm and 9:20pm,
however the bus does not go into New Orleans. You will need to transfer to an RTA
bus. The fare at these times are $1.50. RTA bus 39 connects with the JeT bus at
the drop off point (Tulane and Carrollton) and will take you to the corner of Canal
Street at Elks Place, at the northwest corner of the French Quarter. Fare for the
RTA bus is $1.25, and transfers from the JeT cannot be used, as they are two
different bus companies. RTA also has a day pass for $3.00 that includes the
streetcars. More information about RTA at www.norta.com or call 225-357-3900.
Most hotels in the French Quarter, downtown and on Canal Street are in walking
distance of the bus stop. RTA bus 27 (transfer also available at Tulane and
Carrollton) goes into the Garden District down Louisiana Street.
On weekends, the JeT bus operates on Saturdays from 6:24am until 9:20pm every
30 to 60 minutes, and Sundays from 7:28am until 9:20pm every 65 minutes, but
stops at the Jefferson Parish line (Tulane and Carrollton) and does not go into New
Orleans. Follow the same instructions above for weekdays after 6:14pm.
