Like transit buses, shuttle buses reduce the number of cars on the road. Shuttle buses are typically "return-to-base" fleets—they start from a central location and return to that same location at the end of the shift—and are therefore capable of centralized fueling. This makes them well suited to alternative fuel operation, as does their high-mileage operation. Many shuttle fleets have realized the benefits of alternative fuels and hybrid electric technologies and have begun to convert their fleets.
