Is the Shuttle Marriot exclusive?
We were thinking about getting a cheaper hotel, and we were wondering if we could walk to where the shuttle is. How much does it cost?
And, what are some other good transportations? I've never been to new orleans, but I assume they have the same forms of transportation as most cities. Do they have a railcar?
What do you think is the best transportation to use?

I don't think the shuttle is exclusive to the Marriott since there is an additional price for the shuttle. We are staying at Days Inn Canal and will prolly just use the streetcar or catch a cab

I for one look forward to the streetcar... never been on one before! It'll be easy to spot me - I'll be the guy hanging off the back shouting, 'WEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!'

I just hope they run the streetcars later so that we can take them BACK too....I love riding the streetcars....so much more fun than buses or shuttles

Here is the link the the Canal Streetcar schedule. It opens with adobe acrobat reader, or whatever else opens a .pdf file, but there it is. www.norta.com/routes/47.pdf

Hopefully the hours will be extended. They do it here with Metro when there's a big event since they want ppl to take public trans. We can always split a cab. I think I read somewhere it's about 80k ppl. but don't know if that's all at one time or the whole weekend. Anyone know?

So, has anyone actually called about the shuttle? I am thinking that unless the street car schedule changes, it will be good for going and coming during the day, but it's looking like it won't run long enough to close down the headliners each night.....Of course there's always cabs, but somehow fighting 60,000 people for a cab doesn't sound like much fun to me

I've been debating the shuttle thing. I'm going to have my urban assault vehicle ( AKA a surburban) with me. I was thinking about passing on the shuttle and driving to Voodoo each day from the Marriott. This way we would all have a place to store stuff if ya'll wanted too. I was thinking this may be useful on Sat if people are planing on going in costume. If it gets hot then we could throw clothes , etc in there instead of dragging it around all day. Plus I can transport eight people! PM me if interested.
