Definition
穿梭 (chuānsuō) means 'to shuttle' — moving back and forth repeatedly between two points, like a shuttle on a loom. It emphasizes the frequent, busy to-and-fro motion, unlike 往返 (wǎngfǎn) which simply means 'go and return' (a round trip), and unlike 穿过/穿越 which focus on passing through a space or barrier once.
