Tunisian industrial zones present transport challenges that traditional solutions do not cover: remote sites not served by public transport, night shifts starting at 5 AM or 6 AM, team rotations every 8 hours, and personnel spread across several municipalities.

E-Taxi offers **dedicated industrial shuttles** with monthly contracts, fixed schedules, and a fleet adapted to the number of workers.

1. The challenges of transport in industrial zones {#defis}

An HR manager at a textile factory in Ben Arous typically manages:

**3 teams**: 5 AM–1 PM, 1 PM–9 PM, 9 PM–5 AM

**200 to 500 workers** from different municipalities (Tunis, Mégrine, Hammam-Lif, Radès, Grombalia)

**Total absence of public transport** for night schedules

High production penalty if personnel does not arrive on time

Common problems without organized shuttles:

Frequent delays due to unavailability of taxis during off-peak hours

Unpredictable and difficult-to-budget costs

Insecurity for employees at isolated bus stops at night

2. Areas covered by E-Taxi {#zones}

3. Management of staggered schedules and night shifts {#horaires}

The main difficulty of industrial shuttles is team rotation. E-Taxi manages:

Typical pickup times:

Morning shift: **departure 4:30 AM–5:30 AM** (arrival at site 5 AM–6 AM)

Afternoon shift: **departure 12:30 PM** (arrival at site 1 PM)

Night shift: **departure 8:30 PM** (arrival at site 9 PM) + return 5 AM

Operational flexibility:

Schedule sent via Excel or email each week

Last-minute changes accepted with 2 hours notice

Automatic replacement in case of vehicle breakdown (contractual SLA)

Drivers familiar with routes and pickup points

4. Available fleet according to team size {#flotte}

|---|---|---|---|

For large industrial units (> 100 workers per shift), we coordinate a **fleet of multiple vehicles** with a dedicated line manager.

---

5. Night surcharge and cost management {#tarification}

Night shuttles (10 PM–5 AM) include a **surcharge of 2 DT per trip** according to official pricing. For industrial shuttles, this surcharge is included in the monthly contract rate, with no surprises.

Advantages of the industrial monthly contract:

**Fixed price per run** (one way or round trip) negotiated at the start of the contract

**Single monthly billing** with details by date, time, and number of passengers

No unforeseen surcharges (except for validated schedule or volume changes)

**HR report**: tracking by employee, useful for attendance and absences
