Melbourne's city circle tram ran 24 hours on special events nights sometimes. Doesn't really count as always running 24/7 though

2024-12-26 04:55:13 +0000 UTCI lived in NOLA for about a year. I left Pennsylvania in the snow and ended up on Algiers. I took that ferry everyday from my place, where the husband and wife were trying to rebuild their life after Katrina by having their own rooms, a space shuttle and a harem gypsy tent with a shared bath and bunk beds. Too many stories from there.

2024-11-03 21:53:02 +0000 UTCIt was a lot of fun, even if the transit was pretty lacking! ;)

2024-11-03 21:52:29 +0000 UTCOh gosh, the former E1 trip must be SOOOOO much slower now...that kind of agrees with the larger point that these heritage streetcars ARE really useful to commuters, which makes it all the more ridiculous that they're as slow as they are!

2024-11-03 21:52:01 +0000 UTCNEW ORLEANS MENTIONED! I lived there for four years but just moved back to Chicago in June. A few things that you might find interesting: there were recently some significant service cuts by Greater New Orleans two transit agencies (the RTA and Jefferson Parish Transit) which led to the E1 (which used to run from the airport to downtown via the Cemeteries) being cut back to just the Airport to the Cemeteries. Because of that, the 47 Streetcar is now usually packed in the mornings/afternoons with commuters who have to transfer from the E1. So even though they're terribly slow, a lot of commuters do use the streetcars. Also to the point about the ferry, the Mississippi River at New Orleans is one of the most dangerous parts of the river. Where the ferry crosses over is actually the river's deepest point at about 200 feet, and currents are tremendously strong even if it doesn't look it. If you go in, you probably will not make it out. Just a note cuz someone will probably say that on the main video. But I do wish you could stand up and think that rule is kinda unnecessary and very anti-New Orleans.

2024-11-01 21:33:43 +0000 UTCThe ferry being strict is a surprise, because at least stereotypically, New Orleans is a pretty wild place. My own experiences with the Washington State Ferries is that they are pretty open and let passengers do whatever.

2024-11-01 00:17:05 +0000 UTCWhen I went to New Orleans (on my Amtrak rail pass trip), I sadly didn't ride the street cars, but I did go through the neighborhood of the Green Line, and visited the Anne Rice house. New Orleans is quite the place.

2024-11-01 00:15:55 +0000 UTCLived there 7 years. RTA definitely doesn’t like to put out rider alerts. And ending the route early is par for the course.

2024-10-31 20:40:41 +0000 UTCHow can X be the everything app if it doesn’t have Miles in Transit videos of heritage streetcars operating at 3am?
