Straight sexism. Cause a Dad driving his kids to school has gotta be a creep or terrible driver or something?

Oddly, while the TC page has the “85% are moms” and the “all of them are women”, VanGo itself has the same “85% are moms” but “all of them are...prescreened with 3+ years childcare experience, reference checked, fingerprinted & clean background check”.

VanGo will succeed DUE to the sexism involved. Think about the moms weighing up their options when sending their kids to school:

1) Uber - random dude (most likely)

2) Another mom or at least a pre-screened woman

Not many moms will choose the uber for fear of appearing sexist.

In addition to your presented options:

3) Bus

4) Kid Walks/cycles themself

5) Mom drives them herself

With these already being available options, I don't understand why anyone would be trying to solve what appears to me to be a solved problem, getting kids to school.
