Safe school transport,
verified and tracked.
iTransport is a verification-first scholar transport marketplace in South Africa, connecting parents with vetted, reliable transport providers for their children's daily school runs and extramural activities.
We believe every child deserves a secure journey to school.
For many South African families, finding trustworthy school transport is a stressful, word-of-mouth process with little transparency around safety, pricing, or reliability. iTransport changes that by bringing the whole experience online: parents search for providers in their area, compare ratings and verified credentials, book a seat, pay a transparent monthly fee, and live-track their child's trip, all from one app.
We give hardworking transport providers a fair, reliable way to find and serve families in their community, with tools to manage bookings, vehicles, drivers, and routes efficiently. And a dedicated admin layer oversees provider verification, platform analytics, and user management to keep the marketplace safe and trustworthy.

The problem
Families struggle to find trustworthy, legally compliant school transport, and providers lack the tools to run routes, drivers, vehicles, and billing efficiently. Reliability and safety oversight are largely manual or absent.
The solution
iTransport centralises the entire journey in one platform: provider verification, bookings, live GPS tracking, ratings and reviews, emergency alerts, and automated invoicing, built to deliver safety, transparency, and trust at every step. Peace of mind for parents, and a sustainable, compliant business for providers.
Meet the founders
iTransport was built by parents, for parents. Both of us have children who have attended both private and public schools, and on both sides we needed a service like this. We built iTransport from that firsthand experience, because we know exactly what it takes to get your child to school safely.
