    While laws vary from state-to-state, we support the strongest safety standard by recommending that small children five years and under be secured in a child restraint seat for transportation. If federal, state, or local law requires your child be secured in a child safety seat, please bring one as it is the parents or caregivers responsibility. We do not provide child restraint seats and likely will not be able to provide service without one.

  • The number of stops made varies from city to city and is based on population density and vehicle size.

    The average amount of stops within a route typically consists of three to four stops. Since rides are grouped geographically, stops are likely to be in quick succession due to higher density. For areas that are more spread out, smaller vans and fewer stops are likely but will also be more spread out in time and distance.

    Number of stops also vary upon time of day, time of year, and the number of passengers going to or from your area.
