Historic City News was informed that the City of St Augustine is expanding its free shuttle service for visitors coming to experience the Nights of Lights tours.

In addition to already established routes, which will continue, new routes and parking areas have been added to serve Anastasia Island, West King and areas south of the city.

Starting today and continuing every Saturday in December from 4:00 p.m. -11:00 p.m., the program will offer two additional routes.
