The start of the school year is behind us, and the hectic pace of school and after-school activities has resumed. This can be a challenging time for parents, who must find ways to stay organized and adjust their schedules to accommodate their children’s.
Because it’s a fact: arranging transportation for children can be time-consuming, but it can also be expensive and harmful to the environment.
What if we told you we’d take care of everything? Kidcab provides drivers to safely transport children to their activities, optimizing routes and vehicles to minimize their carbon footprint as much as possible. Let us explain.
Children's commute between home, school, and after-school activities
Parents’ schedules are often packed. With school and after-school activities starting up again, it’s hard to know where to turn. Just imagine: the youngest has tennis lessons after school, while the older one plays basketball three times a week and often has to travel all over the region for competitions. Add to that work, school, homework, chores, and errands, and you’ve got a mission impossible!
According to a study conducted in 2019 involving more than 5,000 sports clubs and associations and 6,000 schools, the travel time for our children and teenagers between home or school and the location of their activity is:
- less than 15 minutes for 45% of them;
- 15 to 30 minutes for 50% of them;
- more than 30 minutes for 5% of them.
The average commute to after-school activities is 17 minutes. These activities usually take place after school on weekdays and on Wednesday afternoons. Some activities even organize competitions in addition to their regular weekly sessions, sometimes in areas that are farther away.
While some children are lucky enough to have parents who can drive them to their activities, this is unfortunately not the case for everyone. It was this realization that led us to create Kidcab. Even today, transportation options tailored to children’s needs remain scarce.

We handlethe coordination of all your children’s transportation by contacting the relevant schools directly and establishing partnerships to make our services available to as many children as possible.
Why choose Kidcab?
Entrusting your children’s rides to Kidcab is a reassuring and safe experience for parents and school administrators alike. That’s what our customers say!
Kidcab also helps you free up some time. It’s estimated that the person accompanying the children is tied up for an average of 1.5 hours. Your time is precious—make the most of it!
Finally, without proper organization, transporting children to school or after-school activities tends to drive up both expenses and carbon emissions. At Kidcab, we are committed to providing you with more eco-friendly and cost-effective transportation solutions. We coordinate children’s rides to reduce the number of vehicles used and, consequently, lower costs. And the more passengers a vehicle carries, the smaller its carbon footprint! Choosing Kidcab is therefore a way to help the planet.
