On a thread yesterday, a freeper appeared to have found NO city statistics that showed there were somewhere in the vicinity of 300 school buses and 350 mass transit buses that the mayor and governor failed to utilize. I wish the person who found these numbers would start a whole tread just on this subject.

I don't think I saw that thread, but a NTD (national transit database) from 2002 has the New Orleans RTA with 364 transit buses and 68 paratransit vehicles available for peak hour/rush hour service.

I'm looking at a pdf document right now, but I got there from the site below, which I think I found on a thread from Doug from Upland.

Yep - according to above link, New Orleans has between 200 - 499 buses. Of course the link to the RTD doesn't work. Guess their servers are down ;-)
