NEW ORLEANS (AP) — More public buses will be rolling around-the-clock in New Orleans, a step toward restoring the level of service that existed before Hurricane Katrina hit and devastated the city’s public transportation system.

The Regional Transit Authority plans to add all-night service on eight routes to ease the commute
of employees.

RTA says it will also increase the frequency of buses on 15 routes around the city and establish an airport line to shuttle workers to and from Kenner as construction of a new multi-million-dollar airport terminal gets underway.
