What is a "shuttle train"?
A shuttle train is a type of train used for short-distance, repetitive trips, often between two specific locations. It runs back and forth regularly, carrying passengers or cargo without making many stops in between. Shuttle trains are commonly used in urban areas to connect different parts of a city or at airports to move people between terminals. They are efficient for managing high volumes of passengers or goods over relatively short distances, ensuring quick and consistent transportation.
Examples
The shuttle train runs between the airport and the city center every 30 minutes.
