A travel pod is a small Federation shuttlepod used by facilities like the San Francisco Fleet Yards to transfer personnel to drydocks or spaceships. These vessels were approximately 4 meters in length and have a flight crew that can include 1 pilot and up to 7 passengers.

In 2272 Admiral Kirk used one of these pods (number 05) to ferry from the orbital office complex to the refitted USS Enterprise. (Star Trek: The Motion Picture)

In 2285, Sulu piloted such a vessel, carrying Kirk, Uhura and McCoy to the Enterprise for an inspection tour. (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan)

The following year the former crew of the Enterprise was transported to their new home, the Enterprise-A, aboard a travel pod while the Enterprise was still docked in Earth Spacedock. (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home)

The first edition of the Star Trek Encyclopedia had a diagram of a travel pod labeled 06.
