Fast Forward 6 years @ridezum has become one of the most important companies in reimagining school transportation for all kids. In no small part because of @schreier and the other investors.
And of course the founding team: The amazing @ritun @vivekg749 & Abhishek

Free school transportation is one of the most important tools to address inequity in education:
No way to get to school safely & on time >> missed classes. Or, parent that brings/picks up kid at school can not work full time >> lower income

School Transportation is very expensive:
Transportation is schools’ second-highest cost category, after salaries, totaling $28 billion a year nationwide.
That's billion with a "B".

School Transportation is antiquated.
Do you know why school busses look like from a bygone era? Because they are ... designed in the 60s and 70s and little has changed since them:
Seat belt: No
Airbag: No
Navigation: No
Modern Engine: No

School Transportation is incredibly dirty!
Over 90 percent of the nation’s 500,000 school buses are diesel buses, which emit notoriously noxious exhaust. More than 25 million children, and thousands of drivers, breathe this impure air on the way to and from school.
Dirty - DIESEL
