Bywater Maragny area Busses 

How to Ride the Streetcar

The one-way fare for the Riverfront line is $1.25 (a quarter more than the $1.00 fare on other RTA lines). Transfers are an additional ten cents. Fares must be paid and transfers obtained when boarding. You can also use your VisiTour one-day or three-day pass to ride the Riverfront Line. Board the Perley Thomas cars and pay your fare in the front; exit in the rear. Pull the bell cord running the length of the car before your stop to signal the driver you want to get off. 
  Plans to extend streetcar travel into the Maragny/Bywater area.

The streetcar that now runs from canal to the end of the french market may some day again run well into the Bywater area. I hope this happens. I believe in restoration and people friendly zoning, in fact many businesses were located in the Bywater/Maragny. Observe every corner structure; most all were  businesses. Some people confuse conservation with  
restoration. I would like more of the kind of people that the streetcar line would introduce to shop, play, live, and invest in the Bywater area. 

The New Orleans railway and light company ran the line until 1948 when it was replaced by today's Desire bus. The bus may  
not be as colorful, but the people of toadies Bywater/Maragny are just as worthy of the pen as the ones Tennessee William's  
wrote about in "A Streetcar Named Desire.  The Riverfront Route Esplanade is  located at the beginning of The Maragny Bywater area walk down to the streetcar located directly on the rivers  
the city go shopping and return to a quieter area . Esplanade is graced with Lovely balconies and Galleries beautiful guest  
houses,and a wide oak tree lined median where you can walk your pet ,be warned use a scupper or you face a heavy fine

Upriver turnaround and terminal.  The famous St Charles Streetcar

You may even get lucky and a lively streetcar driver who makes the ride intrusting with a humerous history of the area. All  
conductors point out points of interest. 
Ride the streetcar to the very end and have coffee at La Medallions or have a grilled cheese at the Camellia Grill.

The St. Charles Route Stop #1 for the St. Charles Streetcar is at the corner of Canal and Carondelet Streets. The streetcar turns onto Canal  
Street, then back around again on St. Charles for the trip uptown. The car travels the length of St. Charles Avenue, turning  
onto Carillon Avenue at the Riverbed. The line continues up Carillon to Claiborne Ave., where the line terminates. 
The return trip is the opposite of the outbound trip up to St. Charles Ave. and Lee Circle. St. Charles Ave. becomes one-way  
outbound at Lee Circle, so the final leg of the inbound trip takes Carondelet St. to get back to Canal St.
