      <![CDATA[Personally, I would like to see the RTA supplement the St. Charles line with a bus during rush hour and weekends. I've been packed like a sardine with too many tourists who don't understand the concept of MOVE TO THE BACK OF THE CAR when it's standing-room only on the St. Charles line.

      <![CDATA[@SV:  First off, Paratransit stops at midnight, which brings us back to the title of this post (scroll up if you need to read it a few more times to get the point).<br>
<br>
And no, actually "this whole article" is not "unfair" (what, are you 12?). Paratransit is a specific, limited, more expensive service especially for individuals who, according to the NORTA website, "may have a temporary or permanent disability that prevents them from using the standard RTA system."

      <![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.
