Union Passenger Terminal

We purchased a private room and this waiting area was a part of the experience. You should try it.

We took tram from French Market to UPT. It was amazing experience. Just went from French market to UPT and then back to French market in same TRAM.

Amazing experience because that tram runs from city highway so you will get good view from TRAM.

I have used Union Passenger Terminal many times, both for the bus and Amtrak. Coming and going the connection is always smooth. The staff in the station are helpful and getting to and from the platforms is easy. The platforms are paved and covered so weather is not a concern. Getting to and from the terminal is also easy. It is convenient to Mid City and the French Quarter and there are always an abundance of cabs as well as easy Uber service.

Quick and simple way to get to Downtown New Orleans.

If you’re curious about the underinvestment in American infrastructure, look no further than New Orleans Passenger Terminal. I eagerly await the day there is a modern train station befitting this culturally rich city.

Dated but clean and functional. The staff is informative, personable, and courteous.

A typical Amtrak terminal in the industrial part of town, not to far from either the airport ($30+ lyft ride) or Bourbon Street. Ample taxi/Uber/Lyft pickup area directly out front. Helpful staff.
