une navette


Explanation:
inutile de faire aussi redondant à mon avis que l'anglais...
voire "une navette est mise à disposition..." ou "un service de navette..."

agree  Sheila Wilson: as you say, '2-way' is totally unnecessary in English, too
1 hr
  -> thank you Sheila...
agree  Catherine De Crignis: pourquoi pas effectivement, mais je crois que la redondance est volontaire (un peu comme le boulanger qui se vante de ne pas faire payer la coupe du pain : argument de vente lourd mais résolu)
2 hrs
  -> d'accord mais puisqu'il s'agit d'une reformulation commerciale, on peut mettre l'accent sur le mot service, gratuit...
agree  B D Finch: Better without the redundant "2-way".
