The answer

If the situation is as the questioner describes, that these people commit (polytheism) at these shrines and zawiyas (Sufi lodges), then it is not permissible to transport them there, and doing so would be an act of disobedience. However, ruling that the transporter is an infidel merely for transporting these people to polytheistic seasons is incorrect, for aiding in kufr (disbelief) only becomes kufr if the helper is pleased with it, or loves it, or approves of it.
