“We’ve been working on this for literally more than a decade and really excited to see the work of the Southern Rail Commission and all the communities from New Orleans to Mobile,” said Walt Leger, President and CEO of New Orleans and Company.
Amtrak is also in the process of collaborating with state transportation agencies and track owners to accelerate the creation of a direct rail connection between Baton Rouge and New Orleans, which is expected to be completed in the next two years.
“We’re working on bringing Amtrak service to Baton Rouge and we’re talking about taking the train to go from let’s say Mobile to New Orleans and bring them all up here. That’s a few years away, why wait when we can have a bus connection now,” Senior Public Relations Manager Marc Magliari.
When the full rail service launches, tickets, schedules and fares will be released. In the meantime, the newly introduced bus service will serve as an essential step toward enhancing the region’s overall transportation network.
