As I recall reading on an older thread, Nagin also had almost 500 city buses which were not used.

Yes, there's that.

I found a 1998 RTA accounting, they had 333 operating buses at that time.

Of course buses are no good when there are no drivers, and/or the drivers' union says "No working during hurricanes."

Honestly, I think Nagin was up against more than he could handle.
