UNITED CAB
Read moreProbably the best-known cab company in New Orleans, United Cabs will take you anywhere in the city and also connects to the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport in Kenner. This company has a fleet of over 400 cabs and offers 24-hour service. To order a cab, you can either call the local number or download the Curb app, an app that works in other countries as well and allows you to pay the bill in advance. Don't forget the tip!
REGIONAL TRANSIT AUTHORITY (RTA)
Read moreThe RTA (norta.com) has a network of some 40 bus lines, four streetcars, a ferry between downtown and the Algiers district and another between Lower Algiers and Chalmette. Be sure to get an accurate count: drivers do not give change. It is recommended that you download the Le Pass app to use the system. Two other companies serve the NOLA metropolitan area, Jefferson Transit and St. Bernard Parish Rapid Urban Transit.
ISLAND EXPLORER
Read moreVisitors without a vehicle can count on Island Explorer's free seasonal transportation service. The company operates bus routes in and around Acadia National Park. A very useful service. Bikes can even be hooked up to the buses. Island Explorer does not offer guided tours, and seating is not guaranteed. Buses don't operate on behalf of the national park; whether on foot, by bike, by car or by bus, you must pay park entrance fees and have a pass.
GOOGLE FLIGHTS
Read moreGoogle's flight comparator is one of the best on the market, because it compares your outbound and return flights separately. This means it will find you the best price on each of the two journeys by comparing all the available offers, so you may not get the same airline on the outward journey as on the return. Google Flights redirects you to the two merchant sites, and you make your reservations separately. The interactive map and price calendar are also very useful, giving you the best prices by destination and date.

JEFFERSON LINES
Read moreJefferson Lines is an established name, celebrating its 100th anniversary in 2019. Its operations are local, and its routes are geared towards the central states of the country. You won't be able to get to Illinois, for example, and only LaCrosse, Milwaukee or Madison to Wisconsin. On the other hand, if you want to visit Minnesota from top to bottom without a vehicle, this is the ideal solution. The company serves all points of interest in Minnesota. So it's perfect for getting away from it all in the surrounding towns.
NYC FERRY
Read moreThe New York City ferry system efficiently connects several Brooklyn neighborhoods to/from Manhattan and even Queens. The Rockaway Route connects to Rockaway Beach from Wall Street; the South Brooklyn Route connects to Dumbo, Red Hook, Sunset Park, and Bay Ridge; the East River Route connects to Greenpoint, Williamsburg, and Dumbo from Wall Street; and the Astoria Route connects to the up-and-coming Brooklyn Navy Yard from Wall Street and up to Astoria, Queens.
CITI BIKE
Read moreThese bikeshares are especially fun to ride on the quiet streets of Brooklyn. With nearly 750 stations and 1,000 bikes scattered throughout Manhattan, Queens, the Bronx and Brooklyn, you'll have no trouble finding one during your stay. Citi Bikes are an economical alternative to bike rentals. The fact that you can drop them off at any Citi Bike kiosk makes them especially convenient. Note that there are more and more electric bikes at the kiosks (26 cents per minute surcharge).
REVEL
Read moreAfter bikes, it's self-service scooters that are all the rage in New York! All electric, Revel's scooters were first launched in Brooklyn and Queens in 2018, before expanding to Manhattan and the Bronx in early 2021. Helmets are mandatory (you'll be asked for a selfie as proof!) and two helmets are provided with each rental. Note that scooters are not allowed on bike lanes or major bridges, and must not exceed 30 mph (about 50 km/h).

UBER
Read moreLike any major city in the world, you can order an Uber on your smartphone app, and most of the time it will be cheaper than the local companies. Not far from being a local experience either, the drivers themselves are often locals. Available 24 hours a day, Uber drivers can take you wherever you want, whenever you want, and it's often easier to know when they'll pick you up through the mobile interface. Be careful with the hours between 3pm and 7pm, because traffic jams are terrible...
