For parents
Know where your child is on the way to school.
See the van on a map during the trip, get an alert at pickup and drop-off, and manage all your children from one app.

FAQ
Questions parents ask
Is the location live?
During a trip, the van’s position updates about every 10 seconds.
Do I have to share my own location?
No. The app shows the driver’s location during a trip. It does not track you.
Can I add more than one child?
Yes. Add each child with their school and grade, and follow each of their trips.
What if my child is not going to school one day?
Mark a day off in the app. The driver and the school can see it.
Who can see my child’s details?
Your child’s driver, their school and the WaliRides operations team, only to run the service. See our privacy policy.
How do I get the app?
The app is not on Google Play or the App Store yet. We are onboarding families directly: request access and we will get in touch.
