Spotted: A lone Downtown-Waterfront Shuttle sitting perfectly still, attempting to blend into its surroundings, as it waits for a herd of bikes to amble past, before continuing its daily migration along Santa Barbara's Waterfront.
Experts believe the Shuttle survives primarily on sunshine, beach energy, and the faint sound of someone saying, “Wait…we could’ve parked where?”
Each Summer, these majestic creatures travel in predictable patterns between downtown and the waterfront, carrying tourists, locals, beach chairs, sandy flip flops, and at least one person aggressively melting an ice cream cone.
The Downtown-Waterfront Shuttle returns May 29 for another season of coastal migration, people moving, and parallel parking avoidance.
Nature is healing. #shuttlesummer is back. 🚌🌴☀️
