what happened to this bus lot? It is located on the west side of I310, which is on the west side of greater New Orleans in Louisiana. I took this in May 2005.

If this doesn't work, let me know. It's the first time I've used it.

Then if that is the case, maybe it was flooded out?

You know that brings up an interesting (to me anyway) question. What has happened in New Orleans to the buses? How many were destroyed, how many were repairable? How many people are still without jobs because of the flooding? Anybody from New Orleans/Mississippi area on the forum?
Nothing great has ever been accomplished without enthusiasm!

Try using www.globeexplorer.com

I tried looking for a bus yard, but I couldn't find one. For an address, just type in I310. Do you know if the yard was near the superdome or not?

I had no luck finding the exact bus yard, but here are some photos that I found from a website that talks about the lack of use of buses in evacuations, and that now they have been wasted.

I hope that not too many buses were damaged down there.

Yeah, if anyone can find some information like mlkdrives41 mentioned above, that would be great!
