The shuttles serve what's known as the Public Improvement District downtown or the core of downtown, a special taxing district that funds Centro San Antonio.
Centro San Antonio reported passenger use data will be studied to determine if additional downtown routes should be added.
Some of Centro San Antonio's other initiatives within the improvement district include trash pickup, power washing sidewalks, landscape maintenance, art installations, and increasing shade on sidewalks. Its blue and yellow shirted ambassadors offer water and directions to tourists and locals. They also direct the unhoused to services they need.
