User Reviews

Users praise Le Pass for its convenience, cashless ticketing, and trip-planning features that help navigate New Orleans quickly, including walking directions to stations and arrival times. It’s valued by visitors for ease and pricing, with examples like short-term passes. However, recurring problems undermine the experience: live-tracking and time estimates are frequently unreliable, schedules don’t reflect reality, and buses/trains often run late or detour. The app also suffers from performance glitches, lag, and navigation issues, and some users report pass-activation problems before boarding. Overall, the tool is useful but needs significant reliability and UX improvements.

Pros

Easy to use and convenient for getting around without a car.
In-app cashless ticketing and quick ticket purchases.
Strong trip planning with live transit data, walking directions, and arrival times.
Reliable transit coverage that helps you schedule trips.
Affordable pricing and passes (e.g., 7-day passes) that add value for riders.

Cons

Unreliable live tracking and inconsistent time estimates.
Frequent app problems, slow loading, and glitches.
Inaccurate schedules with late or missing buses/trains.
Difficult navigation and hard-to-find full route schedules.
Pass activation issues and other feature glitches at boarding.

you only use rta because you NEED to, i have to use a seperate app usually to cross examine not only if the actual location of the stop is correct, as the in app map is very non functional and will often drop me MILES from where i need to be- but also the TIME the bus gets there, because the app is USUALLY wrong. way too often MY HEALTH has been put at risk because i am TOO POOR to own a car and can ONLY rely on public transport unless i want to walk, and i have work and doctors appointments to go to. usually i prefer to walk, as it will be FASTER than waiting another HOUR for these drivers to decide to do their job. horrible service.

Came to NOLA via the Amtrak Mardi Gras service from Gulfport. The Jazzy day pass is must! It made getting around the city and back to the train station so easy! For $3 you cannot beat that! Even in the pouring rain it was easy! We will do this every time!
