Connect with nearby families, share reliable school rides and simplify your family's daily routine with PodRide.
Serving Surrey and Langley, BC. Three families, one verified driver, one school route.
Add your child, home and school. A CA$50 deposit holds your place.
We group three families going to the same school, using actual driving time between homes, not straight-line distance.
All three parents approve the proposed route and an admin confirms. Then your Monday–Friday schedule starts.
Billed on the 25th, September to June. Pricing is configurable and subject to final approval.
See your driver and vehicle while a route is active, plus pickup, boarding and school-arrival alerts.
Handled as a defined payment type, with its terms stated at checkout. Matching is not guaranteed and depends on nearby families and driver capacity.
Advance bookings only. Requests for the upcoming service week close Sunday at 11:59 PM Pacific. Your child's school-route driver gets the first 12 hours to accept, then eligible nearby drivers.
Drivers upload a commercial licence, vulnerable sector check and vehicle inspection. An admin approves each one, and expiries trigger reminders.
Parents see only their own children. Drivers see only their assigned manifest.
Browsers can pause tracking when closed. We tell drivers when location is on and require the page to stay open while on duty.
We start in Surrey and Langley. Addresses outside our geofence join a notify list for future expansion.
