Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer is in Rome, getting shoppers where they need to go this Christmas Eve.
The Rome Transit department has a bus with a route specially designed for last-minute Christmas shoppers. It is equipped with a red nose, antlers, and a smiling face.
Phyllis Lee from Rome’s Transit Department, said Rudolph the Red Nose Shopper Bus carries passengers in style.
“Santa drives the bus and we also have Santa’s helper on the bus giving out candy to the kids, giving kids the opportunity to talk to Santa. And Santa, of course, waves and greets the passengers as he goes by,” said Lee.
The bus visits major shopping sites in Rome including the Historic Downtown. It costs a dollar to ride.
