Inside a streetcar looking past the self-service ticket machine and the female driver of such historic electric vehicles that have been providing public transportation on steel rails throughout the southern city of New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, for more than a century. Twenty-five miles of track host four streetcar lines, including the iconic St. Charles line that started service in 1835 and is the oldest continuously-operating streetcar line in the world. The red car seen here travels through the heart of the city on the Canal Street line and takes about 30 minutes to ride from end to end.
