Clear pricing, verified reviews, and real-time tracking for peace of mind.
Founded in 2024, School Rides was born from a simple observation: parents across South Africa struggle to find safe, reliable school transport for their children. With limited options and no centralised platform, the process was stressful and time-consuming.
We set out to change that by creating a platform that brings together verified transport operators and parents in one place. Our rigorous verification process ensures that every operator on our platform meets the highest safety standards.
Today, School Rides serves all 9 provinces of South Africa, with plans to expand across the African continent. We're committed to making school transport safe, accessible, and stress-free for every family.
All operators must hold a valid Scholar Transport Operator License issued by the relevant provincial authority.
Vehicles must not be older than 12 years and require a valid certified roadworthy certificate to be listed.
Every operator undergoes identity verification through official South African ID document submission.
