The Shuttle (bus)
The Shuttle was a free bus service in Central Christchurch, New Zealand. Introduced in December 1998, the popular service represented the first use of turbine-electric hybrid vehicles in New Zealand. It was operated until the February 2011 Christchurch earthquake and carried about one million passengers per year. It was not reinstated after the central city cordons were removed in 2013. History In Christchurch, as in the rest of New Zealand, public transport is the responsibility of the regional council. In addition to the commercial services organised by Canterbury Regional Council, the Christchurch City Council commenced a free service on either 1 or 12 December 1998 (sources differ). The rationale for the service was to provide an economic stimulus for central city retailers.

The Shuttle (newspaper)
''The Shuttle'', formerly known as the ''Kidderminster Shuttle'', is a free weekly newspaper distributed to households in the Wyre Forest area of Worcestershire, England, on a Thursday. In the Stourport area it was known as the ''Stourport News'', and there was also a paid-for edition, the ''Kidderminster Times''; all three papers have had identical editorial content since 2005 although each had its own masthead front page until April 2006. Since then all three papers have been renamed as ''The Shuttle'' incorporating the ''Kidderminster Shuttle'', the ''Kidderminster Times'' and the ''Stourport News''. The local office in Stourport was closed at the same time. The paper remains a local institution in the Kidderminster area, notably with its in-depth coverage of local politics and Kidderminster Harriers F.C. The ''Shuttle'' was first published in the 19th century, and takes its name from the carpet industry for which Kidderminster is famous. The current editor of the ''Shuttl ...
