[PRCo] Shuttle

[Phillip Clark Campbell]

Mr.Schneider,

You wondered about the context within which 'shuttle' was used
in a message here.  That explanation was given wasn't it.  That
usage of shuttle was not improper.  "Transfer" was the main
point of the definition of shuttle wasn't it.



Your observation below is taking the word out of context to the original
discussion isn't it.  It is not unlike changing the subject without
changing the subject line.  Diversionary is another word that comes
to mind.

I agree that shuttle is not in the Prc headsign; I do not know if they
used the word otherwise.  I would suspect no one here is an expert
on the use of shuttle by Prc; it is trivial isn't it.


 
Phil

We could also approach the word shuttle in another way ...
that is that Pittsburgh didn't use the word.
They used the word TRANSFER as in P&LE TRANSFER.

Mr.Schneider;

The other day you mentioned all TrolleyCar lines shuttle.  It seems
this is true in the "broadest" sense of the word.  Today it is like
direct link transport -- airport shuttle between the terminal and 

a group of hotels // motels.

In the days of TrolleyCar transit it may be a short ride which forces
a transfer to get close to or to the final destination.  In the 1940s into
early 1950s downtown Pgh. was the main focus of travel wasn't it.
The 12-line to East St allowed transfer to go downtown.  This is a
shuttle; the 8-line is not a shuttle.
