Transit Routes
In addition to the Carrollton spurs of both the Canal and St. Charles Streetcar Lines, two transit routes, operated by NOPSI at first and later New Orleans Regional Transit Authority, were assigned to South/North Carrollton Avenue: one local (est. in the 1950s, first known as just Carrollton, and later 90 Carrollton), the other an express (established June 16, 1958 as the very first nonstop route in New Orleans, first known as Express 70 - Carrollton via Earhart, later 34 Carrollton Express). Both routes were halted before Hurricane Katrina hit in August 2005; they have since been restored.

Famous quotes containing the words transit and/or routes:
“There’s that popular misconception of man as something between a brute and an angel. Actually man is in transit between brute and God.”
—Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
“The myth of independence from the mother is abandoned in mid- life as women learn new routes around the mother—both the mother without and the mother within. A mid-life daughter may reengage with a mother or put new controls on care and set limits to love. But whatever she does, her child’s history is never finished.”
—Terri Apter (20th century)
