1. shuttle bus; courtesy bus; pick-up and drop-off bus
A free bus run by a hotel, hot-spring inn, hospital, school, or wedding venue to carry guests between its premises and a nearby station or airport. 送迎(そうげい) means seeing off and meeting, so the service covers both directions.

宿(やど)が駅(えき)から遠(とお)くても、送迎(そうげい)バスがあれば車(くるま)なしで行(い)ける。
Even if the inn is far from the station, you can get there without a car as long as there's a shuttle bus.

送(そう) (to send off) + 迎(げい) (to meet) + バス. Almost always a free service laid on by the destination, which distinguishes it from a paid route bus.
