Incredibly convenient and reliable. Kango is a game changer for working parents. Now my kid can do all kinds of after school activities! It's a little pricey but worth it for the security.

This service is terrible. The app is buggy, and the availability of drivers is almost non- existent. Would not recommend this service. Call Uber or lyft; you'll have better luck there.

exceptional service with amazing friendly and caring drivers to keep your kids safe especially when you can't help them commute with busy schedules. highly highly recommended. the UI could be improved a bit and made more intuitive with less clicks, but the service is of amazing value.
