What is actually a shuttle transport? It is a transport between point A and point B, in shorter or middle distances, usually up to a maximum of 100 kilometers, or until the one hour of driving. Due to bad roads, and mountain terrain in Montenegro, it is simple impossible that bus can past 100 kilometers in one hour. Even it is impossible for small cars.
