I am sure shuttle service doesn't work here since маршрутное такси is a regular minivan service serving a large area rather than two locations like an airport and the city centre. Inna was the first to suggest a suitable translation, but thanks also to Melany for confirming my suspicions re shuttle :-) And thanks to everybody who contributed.

маршрутное такси
Route Taxi (minivan)


Explanation:
Here our collegues have translated it as route taxi (minivan)

Coz shuttle is a short-run conveyance, sometimes provided free of charge, operating on a frequent schedule, usually between two points, such as a hotel and the airport, the airport and a car rental agency, and so forth.

neutral  Vladimir Dubisskiy: the question was actually not about the type of the vehicle running (minibus or minivan or van) but rather the way it operates
