Hundreds of Bay Area Parents and Drivers Join Zum(TM) Ride Service for Kids in Last 48 hours

SAN MATEO, CA — (Marketwired) — 04/18/16 — , the leading service that provides safe, reliable transportation for kids, announced it has signed on more than 300 families and 100 drivers since Shuddle abruptly closed its operations last Friday. Zum is providing pickup and drop off services for these new families starting today. Zum has completed thousands of safe rides, with a 100% reliability record, throughout the Bay Area including the South Bay, Peninsula, San Francisco, and East Bay. The company creates school carpools as requested by families as well as offers on-demand or pre-scheduled ride services.

“Last week we were given a one day notice from Shuddle that they shut down. Thankfully, a quick Google search turned up amazing reviews of Zum. I downloaded the app, typed in my info and moments later I received a note from my –personal family assistant!– In five minutes I had all my Shuddle rides moved over to the Zum app and they were picking up the kiddos the next day,” said one Millbrae parent. “School pickups, tennis drop-offs, school play practice — no problem! I like the app better, I like the “reoccurring” feature, and the communication is personal and fast. We are thrilled we found them. They really picked up the pieces that Shuddle left behind.”

All Zum drivers must meet thorough and extensive background checks including TrustLine® certification, DMV and Department of Justice. Finally, all Zum drivers are personally interviewed and attend an extensive training program before they–re matched with a family. Zum is onboarding the new drivers following its highest safety and care protocols to ensure the company continues to serve the customers in the safest and most reliable way.

Amanda G., a new Zum driver commented: “I was assigned to my one of my favorite kids!! So happy and excited! She loved me and I was her favorite Shuddle driver. I–m so happy that I still get to give her rides!”
