What They Do
SchoolRyde provides scheduled daily rides for children using licensed taxi fleets, coordinated through a parent app and operator API.
Why It Might Be the Next Big Thing
Parents face daily challenges around school and activity transport. SchoolRyde uses existing regulated fleets rather than building a gig-driver network, enabling faster, lower-risk expansion.
