Year in Review - The Big Picture Kiawah Shuttle Service Recoups Cost in First Year In May 2015, after just its first year in operation, the Kiawah Shuttle Service by KICA recouped the entire initial capital cost of the shuttle. To-date, the service averages around $6,000 of revenue per month. itineraries typically range from local destinations such as downtown Charleston and the airport to more distant locales around the state and beyond. “The shuttle has served our members well since beginning operations in 2014,” said KICA COO Jimmy Bailey. “To have fully recouped capital costs in such a short time is a testament to our outstanding staff who provide a first class experience.” “The Kiawah Shuttle Service is just a small part of our efforts to provide high quality amenities to our members,” said Bailey. “The next time you need to travel, give us a call. We’ll take care of the rest. ” The custom-designed, 10-passenger Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Shuttle has been in service since April 27, 2014. Shuttle trip To make a reservation, call 843-768-5566.
