If you use public transportation to get around New Orleans, here’s what you need to know about the New Orleans Regional Transit Authority’s plans for Tropical Storm Nate:
– All buses are operating on their normal schedules. Paratransit services will continue regularly scheduled pickups through 8 p.m. on Saturday evening. If sustained winds exceed 35 mph, or other conditions cause the roads to become impassable, RTA transit services will be discontinued.
– Beginning at 5:15 a.m. Saturday, all streetcars will be replaced with buses. The Riverfront streetcar will operate from 5:15 a.m. to 10 a.m., but will shut down after that.
– Ferry service will be determined by U. S. Coast Guard directives and weather conditions on the Mississippi River. The RTA expects service to be discontinued some time on Saturday.
