The only time I hear shuttle used is for a thing that transports between two locations specifically. A "shuttle" from the airport to a hotel or whatever, for example. This seems to match the definition of shuttle also, so I think it's correct. It has nothing to do with marketing, rather actually using the proper term.

Not to add a wrinkle but a bus also goes between two points.

A bus goes between many points usually.
