    As the academic year draws to a close, Careem Rides has released a recap of its School Rides service, highlighting key achievements in its third year of operation in Dubai. The service, launched in partnership with Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) in 2023, has rapidly become a popular choice for parents seeking safe, convenient, and affordable school transport options.

    In the 2024 academic year alone, more than 300,000 School Rides were completed — a major milestone that reflects the service’s growing adoption across the city. Careem’s School Rides operates through the Careem Everything App and is designed to simplify school commutes with fixed pricing and a user-friendly interface.

    Growing demand across Dubai neighborhoods

    Now servicing students from over 500 schools in neighborhoods such as Dubai Marina, JVC, Al Barsha, Nad Al Sheba, and JVT, the service has proven effective in reaching diverse communities across the emirate.

    Parents have praised the affordability of School Rides, which offers packages starting at Dhs260 for 20 rides, valid for 60 days. Unlike regular ride-hailing options, School Rides fares remain fixed regardless of peak-hour demand, delivering up to 35 per cent savings for families. The service also allows up to three students from the same location to share a ride—without additional stops—offering added convenience and reducing road congestion.

    Safety, recognition, and what’s next

    Safety remains a cornerstone of the offering. Only experienced and top-rated Captains are eligible to operate School Rides, and the service includes 24/7 customer support, real-time trip tracking, and instant trip notifications, providing parents with peace of mind during daily commutes.

    Careem Rides’ innovative use of technology and collaboration with the RTA was recently recognized by the International Best Practice Competition (IBPC), which awarded School Rides a 5-star rating. The accolade underscores the program’s quality, efficiency, and community impact.

    As families prepare for the upcoming school year, Careem encourages parents to explore the School Rides option via the Careem Everything App. Packages can be customized based on home and school locations to ensure smooth and reliable transportation from the first day of term.
