DuffGary_S, Apr 2024
We hopped on at stop #7 Harrah’s casino, to go around the corner to Cafe Du Monde (according to the map). Instead the bus headed down Canal St. We were on a tight schedule and could not ride around the entire route, we got off at the Hyatt (2 stops later), then called a cab to get back to Decatur St. We never used the Hop on/off after that. As I feel we were mislead on the route, I would like some type of credit since we did not use this service. Thank you, Irene Rodriguez
