Transit Routes
Two RTA bus routes operated on Elysian Fields Avenue: one local (est. in the 1950s, first known as just Elysian Fields, and later 55 Elysian Fields), the other an express (est. December 5, 1960, first known as Express 91 – Pontchartrain Beach via Elysian Fields, later 56 Elysian Fields Express). Both routes were shut down before the onslaught of Hurricane Katrina; as of November 28, 2005 only the Elysian Fields local route has been returned to service.

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)
