Transport services for kids
Hi,
Any families out there that can recommend transportation services. Has anyone had any experience on “Hop Skip Drive; Kango; KidsKart” kids transpiration services. First student only takes children with special accommodations and paratransit does not take minors. Looking for a trusted reliable transportation with fingerprinted drivers!

The new one in town is called zum. The drivers are all fingerprinted.
We have had good experiences with Zum. Not sure what your exact needs are but the drivers we had all used SUVs and they were easy to schedule and reliable.
Contact Americana Limousine Services, they have a car seat transportation services. I used them before going from my place to the airport, they installed the car seat, clean black vehicles and reasonable prices
Their number 415-305-0819
Good luck
I've given up on Hop, Skip, Drive. I managed to get a few rides in when Shuddle first went out of business a few years ago. For the past one year or more, I can't ever get a Hop, Skip, Drive ride for my child -- even with one month's or more advance booking! When I've asked why, they always respond that they are trying to hire more drivers. I haven't checked more recently than a few months ago but, as I said, I've given up.
My nanny also drives for Kango. She is a former teacher and I believe she said they require background checks and fingerprinting.
She drives for them a few times per week.
We have used Kango for the past year and are pleased overall. Occasionally the service hasn't been able to locate a driver (Friday afternoons seem particularly impacted) which is a pain, but we were able to reserve drivers the majority of the time that we needed them. The app allows you to block any particular drivers that your kids don't like for whatever reason. Kango has been a lifesaver to get kids from Point A to Point B without a parent needing to leave work at 3:00.
