Veteran Builds Airport Shuttle Empire | Fayetteville News

After a personal struggle with pricey airport parking, U.S. Army veteran Tauheed “Ty” Wood launched Shuttle Buddy — a reliable, affordable ride service connecting Fayetteville to Raleigh-Durham Airport. Drawing on his 14 years in the Army, including two deployments to Afghanistan, Wood built the business from the ground up, even rebuilding a bus engine with his son. Inspired by his grandfather’s military service, he expanded the fleet to 11 vehicles and hired 10 drivers, aiming to double that by September. With simple pricing — $60 for adults, discounted for military and students — and a central pickup point, Shuttle Buddy is now thriving, set to grow to 16 vehicles by late August, all while strengthening ties in the local community.
