(Tyler, Texas) - Downtown Tyler has plenty of locations to walk into for a celebration of anything or to enjoy a nice date night dinner. It's convenient to park and take a short walk to wherever you need to get to. For some, walking may not be the best option, especially with all the construction going on.

That's where a new shuttle service has begun. This service will allow you to get around the downtown area while you rest your feet for a moment. And the best part about it is that it's completely free.
