Metro Detroit school districts partner with Hop Skip Drive ride service
It has been touted as the safest ride outside the yellow bus, and several area school districts are partnering with a service called Hop-Skip-Drive. It's designed to complement traditional school transportation, which these days has become dicey amid a shortage of bus drivers. It's very similar to the ride-sharing app on our phones, but it's for the kids, and some folks are split on the thought of the whole idea.
