Le Pass

What Le Pass does

Le Pass is the New Orleans Regional Transit Authority’s app for planning journeys and paying for local public transport. It covers RTA buses, streetcars and ferries, so riders can look up routes, check schedules and keep transit passes on their phone. It is intended for New Orleans residents, commuters and visitors using RTA services.

Routes, schedules and service changes

The trip planner helps you work out a journey across the RTA network rather than searching each transport mode separately. Depending on the route, the app can guide you through the trip and alert you when your stop is approaching. Service alerts can also show delays, route changes or other disruption that may affect your plans.

Mobile transit passes

You can use Le Pass to buy and store digital passes for eligible RTA services. This means the phone acts as the place where your fare is kept and shown when boarding. That is useful if you regularly use New Orleans buses, streetcars or ferries, although it also means you need enough battery and access to the phone when travelling.

Who it suits

Le Pass is most useful if your journey stays within the New Orleans RTA system. It is less relevant as a general-purpose map for travel outside that network. The app is published by the New Orleans Regional Transit Authority and is listed in Maps & Navigation. It has a 4.53/5 rating from 2,255 reviews and has been installed by 100,000+ users.
