There was a similar bus-let (love that term) that belonged to a hotel and ran through the Quarter. You’re not so far off.

It was small bus made to look sort of like the St. Charles streetcar. In the Quarter it went down Chartres (detouring to Decatur around Jackson Square) and back up on Dauphine. Now that I'm remembering, when NOCCA opened, that became it's southern endpoint. Anyway, love the photos.
