Is there
decent public transportation between the New Orleans airport and the
city?
Should I rent a car while I'm visiting?
We don't have the best shuttle
to and from the airport in Kenner, LA.
There's a bus called Airport
Express that will take you to the Public
Library on Tulane Ave in
downtown New Orleans. From there, you can try
to flag a cab. There is
also an Airport Shuttle that's more expensive
and makes the rounds to
the hotels in downtown and the French Quarter.
The time it takes to get
to your hotel depends on who is on the same
bus with you and where
they're staying. A private cab will cost the
most, but it may end up
being the most efficient option for you. While
you're in the city, cabs
can be flagged on the street but the driver can
refuse to take you to
your destination if it's too far away. This
attitude is also why you
should call for a cab the day before your
departure, and then call
again in the morning to remind the service to pick
you up. Cabs will be
hard to find outside of downtown and the French
Quarter. While you're
in our city, RTA (Regional Transit Authority) buses
and streetcars are
an option. Check out their website
