Treat every city’s longest movement as a planning anchor
At a major airport, vehicle size, driver identity, baggage and the real first destination should be fixed before touchdown. The first transfer often determines whether the rest of the programme begins controlled or already behind schedule.
Inside cities such as Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru or Hyderabad, the driver may need repeated repositions around towers, campuses and hospitality rather than waiting at one address. Exit-point knowledge matters as much as route selection.
Regional extensions—Gurugram/Noida, technology corridors, industrial sites, coastal roads or Goa’s north–south movements—should be budgeted as separate duty-hour decisions when they meaningfully extend the day.
