shuttle vlak ili šatl vlak


Explanation:
Iako Hrvatska enciklopedija navodi to prijevozno sredstvo kao šatl, NIJE se udomaćilo i na gotovo svim web stranicama (turističkim,zrakoplovne luke itd.) nalazi se riječ shuttle bus ili shuttle autobus (kod nas češće od vlaka). Tako da bih ja osobno izabrala taj češće korišteni termin
shuttle vlak
ili
vlak za shuttle prijevoz
ili
stalni vlak za prijevoz putnika do zračne luke ili sl.

disagree  Daryo: A "shuttle train" is an ordinary train, what makes it a "shuttle train" is that it keeps "shuttling / going back and forth" between the same two close points, like two terminals in the same airport, or between two close airports.

shuttle train
linijski vlak / namjenska željeznička linija


Explanation:
Po definiciji, "shuttle" (bus, train itd.) ide od jedne točke do druge i nazad, dakle radi se o nekoj vrsti namjenske linijske vožnje (usp. u brodarstvu "linijsku plovidbu", koja prometuje između dvije luke, i "slobodnu plovidbu", koja prometuje po potrebi između više luka).
