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:
“My esoteric doctrine, is that if you entertain any doubt, it is safest to take the unpopular side in the first instance. Transit from the unpopular, is easy ... but from the popular to the unpopular is so steep and rugged that it is impossible to maintain it.”
—William Lamb Melbourne, 2nd Viscount (1779–1848)
“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)
