"As a mom of four, I know firsthand how challenging it is to coordinate safe and reliable transportation for children.
My kids attend private schools with no transportation system and are actively involved in extracurricular activities. Even as a two-parent household with a strong network of family and friends willing to help, transportation is still a constant source of stress. Coordinating multiple drop-offs and pickups, juggling schedules, and ensuring each child is safely where they need to be is overwhelming—despite having a village of support.
I often think about parents who don’t have the same level of support as I do. I think about single family households or families without a strong support system. I can only imagine how much harder it must be. That’s what inspired me to create ZubaRide, a trusted, safe, and reliable transportation service designed specifically for kids."
