Don't worry, I met the driver beforehand!
I really loved that all of their drivers and caretakers have passed background checks, fingerprinting, and a DMV record check. There is a $9 membership fee, the minimum ride fare is $16, and sitters range from $15-$20 per hour per child.Once you download the app, you fill in your personal profile and each one of your children's information – including whether or not they need a booster or car seat .
After we both felt comfortable with our driver , I scheduled my son rides to and from school one day. In the notes section, we requested the driver we met.In the morning our driver showed up in the same Kango-branded vehicle we met her in.Not all drivers drive the Kango vehicles, however. Just like Uber and Lyft, most drive their own car and have stickers in the windshield.
I was able to monitor the whole ride as they were driving by watching their location on the app. After Evan was dropped off, I got a notification:Since picking up kids is trickier than dropping them off, I was a little nervous about how it would go. However, I knew the driver could contact me and vice versa through the app, so that did make me feel better. The drivers park and walk up to find the child if needed . In addition, all drivers must wear a pink, Kango-branded shirt.
The ride on the way there and the ride on the way home ended up costing $18 each. We live three miles from the school, so overall it came to $6 per mile 😬. Out of curiosity, I wondered what it would cost for a babysitter. For a four-hour window, I was quoted between $64-$92.My son liked the ride, he said the driver was friendly and made sure he put his seatbelt on. I really liked how they offered a meet and greet beforehand.
All in all, this service IS a plus because it is easily accessible, immediate help for parents who need it!

Director Sadly States Cancel Culture Would Never Let You Make Zapruder Film In Today’s ClimateLOS ANGELES—Expressing a longing for past eras that were more tolerant of artistic expression, director Greg Loud sadly reflected Monday that the current climate of cancel culture would likely never let you make the Zapruder film today. “In these highly PC times, there’s no way a classic picture like the Zapruder film would ever get off the ground,” said Loud, telling reporters that the influential and celebrated 1963 film would almost certainly be decried as offensive and overly violent by today’s social justice warriors. “We just live in a day and age where censorship is the norm and everyone is dying to be outraged, so as soon as audiences got one look at John F. Kennedy’s head exploding, the blue checkmark Twitter mob would’ve probably driven Abe Zapruder out of town on a rail.” Loud added that the situation was arguably even worse with comedies, reflecting that with current cultural tastes, the video of the Challenger explosion would likely never have even made it past the pitch stage.
