# What changes for shift transport from Navratri to Diwali?

**Short answer:** Traffic, leave, overtime, holiday shifts and events.

From Navratri to Diwali, expect **heavier evening traffic** (slower drops), **more leave** (thinner routes), **more overtime** (late drops), **holiday shifts**, and more **guest and event travel**. Plan earlier departures, merge thin routes, bring the roster cut-off forward, write late-drop rules for the season and book events early.
