# Between the plants, as often as the work needs

Around the SMG plant, work moves between sites all day: an engineer from a vendor unit to the plant, a quality team from the plant to a supplier, a manager across to the Honda plant area at Vithalapur or a unit in the Mandal–Becharaji zone. Shiv Shakti Tours & Travels runs those moves per trip or as a scheduled shuttle.

- Plant ↔ vendor units
- TDSG · Honda · MBSIR
- Per trip or scheduled

| From the plant to | Distance | Sedan |

## Can you run cars between the SMG plant, vendor units and other plants nearby?

Yes. Shiv Shakti Tours & Travels runs trips between the SMG plant, the vendor units in the supplier park, the TDSG and Honda plant areas and units in the MBSIR zone. Short runs cost the minimum fare (₹1,000 sedan); Vithalapur is about 25 km. Frequent moves are cheaper as a full-day car or a scheduled shuttle.

- **₹1,000**: Short run, sedan
- **~25 km**: To Vithalapur
- **₹3,900**: Car all day, sedan
- **Shuttle**: Timetable package

Per-trip runs are fine when people move between sites once or twice a day. When it is five or six times, a car that stays on hand all day costs less, and a fixed timetable, for example every two hours between a vendor unit and the plant, lets people plan their day around it. We look at how often the moves happen and suggest the cheaper arrangement.

## What does a shuttle loop between sites look like?

An example loop serving a vendor unit, the plant and a second unit.

- **Vendor unit** (supplier park)
- **SMG plant gate** (main stop)
- **TDSG area** (on request)
- **Second unit** (MBSIR zone)

- **Fare**: Quoted on call
- **Daily up-down**: Shuttle package on quote

A single short run between nearby sites costs the minimum fare (₹1,000 in a sedan); a timetable of runs is priced as one package. See the [inter-plant shuttle contract guide](https://www.shivshaktitoursandtravels.in/sanand-gidc/inter-plant-shuttle.html) for how a shuttle timetable is set up.

From plant and vendor teams.

Yes, give us the unit and the gate; the fare follows the distance with the minimum fare.

Each company books and is billed separately.

A shuttle timetable is priced as a package.
