The city of Santa Maria is unveiling the new Downtown Trolley during the holiday season, starting on Dec. 7 and offering a shuttle service between several major Santa Maria shopping centers. The 28-passenger trolley is being introduced to the city as the Holiday Shopping Shuttle, which locals can ride for 25 cents, or 10 cents for seniors.
Every 15 to 20 minutes, the trolley will make eight designated stops: the Santa Maria Town Center East, Town Center West, JC Penney in the Santa Maria Shopping Center, Ross in the Santa Maria Commerce Center, Panera Bread in the College Square Shopping Center, the Crossroads Shopping Center, Target, and the Broadway Plaza Shopping Center. The Holiday Shopping Shuttle is available from Dec. 6 through Jan. 10 on Thursdays and Fridays from 5:15 to 9 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays from 2 to 6 p.m.
