Reliable transport, matched to your exact route.
Transportwaya is South Africa's independent online marketplace for scholar and private transport. Parents search the route their child actually travels, compare local providers side by side, and connect directly. Providers list their business for free and get found by the families already looking for them.
Find a provider you can actually trust with your child
Instead of phoning around and hoping for a reference, search the route, compare what's really available, and read what other parents said.
Search by route, not by luck
Enter your home area, your child's school, and whether you need morning, afternoon, or both. Only providers serving that route come up.
Compare before you commit
See monthly fees, one-way and return pricing, available seats, pickup times, and vehicle type side by side.
Reviews from real parents
Providers are rated on punctuality, communication, reliability, professionalism, and vehicle condition.
Transportwaya Verified
Providers can submit their documents for our verification programme, so you can see who has been checked.
Contact providers directly
Send an enquiry with your child's details, or call and WhatsApp straight from the profile. No middleman, no markup.
One-off and group trips
Need transport for a single trip or event? Post a request, or book a seat on an advertised group trip.
Get your business found by the parents on your route
Whether you run one vehicle or a fleet, listing on Transportwaya puts your routes, pricing, and contact details in front of families searching your area right now.
A free business profile
Your own dashboard with a branded profile, cover photo, gallery, business description, and the areas you service.
List the routes you already run
Add each route once with its fee, seats, pickup and drop-off times. Parents searching that route will find you.

Parent enquiries land in your dashboard with their route, school, grade, and contact details, ready to respond.

Need transport for more than the school run?
Schools, churches, corporate teams, sports clubs, and families use Transportwaya for once-off and recurring trips of any size.
Private transport hire
Submit your pickup point, destination, date, and passenger count. Providers who can cover the trip respond to you.

Join an advertised group trip with available seats, or organise transport for a whole group.
