We are happy to let you know that GoKid, the leading carpool solution, has relaunched in the US and Canada this week. And the timing couldn’t be better:
Due to the bus driver shortage, many schools need to cut down on school buses or eliminate specific routes. Some parents will get not-so-great news from their schools this summer: There might be limited service or much longer wait times as schools are struggling to fill in the bus driver positions.
Carpooling to the rescue – here are our top reasons why we started GoKid and why sharing the rides makes sense:
- With half of all schools no longer providing busing, carpooling helps parents to save time sharing the rides with other families they know and trust
- With the rising fuel cost, a daily school trip of just 5 miles will add up to more than a full gas tank or over $ 100 a month – sharing it with only 2 families will bring that cost down to $ 30!
- It also helps to make our schools safer and environmentally friendlier: We are measuring CO2 savings and miles saved.
But the best reason to use a carpool app to share rides? It’s super easy and fun to use. You will make new friends and our school solution creates community. We’ve worked hard to make the Gokid app better and faster: Faster loading times, live tracking of vehicles as a Premium feature, mapping, and notifications when it’s your turn to drive.
We’d be super happy to welcome you back – or, as a new user, to welcome you for your first ride! Please download the App in the Appstore, the Google PlayStore, or, even easier, you can register on our website!
