      <![CDATA[Adding a couple of accessible red cars to  the route would make the St. Charles Line accessible to all New Orleanians without making any changes to the historic green cars. Paratransit is not the same as accessible transit.

      <![CDATA[This whole article is unfair, because it glosses over NORTA's paratransit service. If you can't get on the streetcar because of your disability, a NORTA van or minibus will *pick you up* and provide *door to door* service anywhere in orleans parish- for the same price as riding the streetcar.<br>
<br>
I think that's more than reasonable, and likely cheaper than retrofitting 80 year old machinery to be wheelchair accessible.

      <![CDATA[I think that if they provide us the same or better scheduled transportation, along the same route, that would be ok. New Orleans is old & I don't really expect the old things to change for me, as long as I can get comparable service. BUT have you tried to park in Public Parking and get to the Aquarium???
