New Orleans to Baton Rouge?
FEMA has said they will stop funding the relatively popular Swift bus service between Baton Rouge and New Orleans. Their mandate is not to provide continuing transportation service, so now Louisiana must figure out what to do on its own. It would be interesting to know if there had ever been any planning for such a transit route, although that might have depended more on how disposed the various Louisiana authorities were to inter-municipal transit before Katrina. Having a permanent regional transit connection seems like a very good idea, especially if New Orleans is not going to grow back to its original size or stature. Better now to foster any regrowth that does happen with some sustainable transit links.
