About this business

Operated by New Orleans Public Service since 1922, New Orleans Regional Transit was one of the last urban transit systems in the United States to be transferred from private to public operation. NOPSI began to lose money on the system as the prosperous post-war years changed people's travel patterns. Its investors were unhappy about subsidizing the system, and because it was not eligible for federal funding, there was no opportunity for long-term development of a modern urban transit system.

I just called today at 4:16pm 8/5/2025. I’ve been placed on a long hold for a simple question. Every time I call back I get another hold then hang up. There’s no need for attitude. I’m the one trying to catch the bus not yall. Very rude. Yall just don’t know who you hung up on.

Very poor planning for residents when events in town. Local use this for daily transport and cannot depend on the services. Signage is not correct and people get angry due to the long waits to get to destination.
