In today's fast-paced world, who can say no to a quick, safe transport solution for your child’s busy schedule?  

It’s no secret that parents often find themselves juggling numerous responsibilities on top of chauffeuring their children to school events, extracurricular activities, and social gatherings. This is why the ride-sharing platform offered in d6 communities is such a game changer. Designed exclusively for parents within a d6 community, it addresses the need for a convenient, reliable transport solution that is within a safe, familiar environment. By combining technology and community, this ride-sharing platform in d6 offers an easier, innovative way for parents to offer and ask for rides, ensuring convenience and the safety of their children.

This ride-sharing feature is integrated into the d6 Communicator and d6 Connect apps, which most parents already use to stay up to date with events and announcements at school. This feature is therefore already user-friendly and familiar to community members. Just think: instead of having to ask on a WhatsApp group, mail the teacher or ask a friend for a favour, you can now simply use this ride-sharing feature within the d6 Communicator (or d6 Connect) to see if there are other parents driving to the same hockey match, school event or extracurricular activity. And if you still feel worried about your child, the platform offers live tracking, which means you can monitor the real-time location of your children during the journey, offering peace of mind and reassurance.

What’s more, the service and all lifts are being offered free of charge until the end of 2023, so you don’t have to pay a cent to experience this convenient function of the apps for yourself.

Safety is a paramount concern for d6. By connecting with other parents within the community, the platform ensures a familiar and trustworthy environment. Parents can also establish a passphrase, which ensures that only authorized individuals can pick up the child.

Fostering Community Spirit

By engaging parents in a shared responsibility of transportation, the platform encourages interaction, collaboration, and mutual support among community members. Parents can build meaningful connections, share experiences, and contribute to the overall well-being of the d6 community.
