Wiki Wiki Shuttle

The Wiki Wiki Shuttle (lit. 'Very Fast Shuttle') is a free shuttle bus service at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport in Honolulu, Hawaii. Shuttles run between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. local time, carrying people and baggage between the various terminals and gates.

In the Hawaiian language, the word "wiki" means quick. In 1994, the shuttle's name inspired American computer programmer Ward Cunningham to build the first ever user-editable website, WikiWikiWeb. The word wiki for a user-editable website thus derives from the shuttle's name, and is by proxy the part of the etymology of the name Wikipedia.
