Taxis for Kids
Soccer practice, music lessons, doctor’s appointments — kids often need to be somewhere when it’s not convenient, or even possible, for parents to drive them. That’s why SchoolRyde is facilitating a taxi service for kids.
This service creates a win-win situation. Parents who spend more than twenty billion dollars on after-school programs have a safe, reliable option to transport their kids, while taxi operators that partner with SchoolRyde increase their ridership and business opportunities.
Parents simply schedule rides through SchoolRyde’s mobile app, and taxi operators manage logistics through a dispatch system. All drivers are vetted, trained, and compliant with child-safety standards. It combines the safety of a school bus with the flexibility of a rideshare service.
SchoolRyde’s service is live in Minneapolis, Minnesota and the company is already generating revenue.
