St. Hours of Operation: Around the clock with less frequent service in the early morning and evening. See the map and schedule here. The St. Charles Streetcar line has become synonymous with New Orleans.

Yes, New Orleans is one of the few cities in the United States where you can enjoy historic rail transit deep into the night. Specifically, the famous St. Charles Streetcar line (the green cars) is a 24/7 operation, running around the clock 365 days a year. However, the frequency changes significantly after dark; while cars may arrive every 10–15 minutes during the day, they might only come once an hour in the very early morning hours (typically between 1:00 AM and 5:00 AM). The Canal Street lines (the red cars), which service the Cemeteries and City Park branches, also offer late-night service, usually running until approximately 2:00 AM or 3:00 AM. In 2026, travelers are encouraged to use the "Le Pass" mobile app to track real-time arrivals, as late-night schedules can be subject to maintenance delays. Riding the St. Charles line at night is a popular tourist activity in itself, offering a breezy, atmospheric view of the Garden District’s illuminated mansions and oak trees without the daytime crowds and heat.
