eCabs Free School Government Transport – Scholastic Year 2023-2024

eCabs School runs gives you the peace of mind that is synonymous with the eCabs brand. We give handpicked customer-centric drivers one-to-one training related to the varying guidelines and requirements of the different schools. Trips do not start before all seat belts are fastened. Attendance is taken to further enforce safety protocols. Unlike traditional school runs, we also offer the service of collection and drop-off outside the children’s home. This rather than the traditional meeting-point. This translates into more convenience but even more safety for the children to remain within the proximity of their home until picked up.
