The Pick-Up Picks Up

THE SANTA FE PICK-UP, the city’s year-old, free downtown shuttle, is offering rides to passengers every five-to-ten minutes, in addition to the regularly scheduled pick-up and drop-off times. People who want to shop, eat, or stroll around the Guadalupe District can do so knowing that a free shuttle will pick them up at the stop on Montezuma and take them to the Plaza, the state Capitol, Canyon Road or local hotels, according to W. P. Hon, Parking Division Director. The Pick-Up also has a stop in front of the Main Library at 145 Washington Ave.

“The five- to ten-minute service will begin at 10 a.m. until around 4 p.m., when there aren’t as many commuters,” explained Hon. “We’ll have all the shuttles in service for the commuters.” The Santa Fe Pick-Up was introduced last year and has steadily gained popularity among locals, as well as visitors and commuters using the Rail Runner Express.
