Long-Range Shuttles - The LR-3 and LR-10 were mentioned in Shadows in Death[9]
Minishuttles were also mentioned: “Gate security was to make sure that there were parking facilities for station employees and that guests weren’t infringed upon by every frustrated driver looking for a place to stick his car or minishuttle off the street.”[10] “Overhead, a trio of minishuttles jockeyed for air space, circling as they looked for a clear landing.”[11] The grounds of Brookhollow Academy were described in Origin in Death: “Paths snaked through the gardens and grounds, for scooters, for walks or bikes or mini-shuttles,” leading one to conclude they are very small/narrow, and at least not always airborne.[12]
