"So Piggyback is really more than just the modern day carpool. We sort of call it the complete carpool solution. Every year, parents are going to be faced with, okay, school’s about to start, this sports program’s about to start, this art program is about to start, and there’s a scramble of logistics. How are we going to get there? Which parent is going to be able to take them? Do we have to lean on grandma?"
4. Various of El-Amin driving
5. SOUNDBITE (English) Ismael El-Amin, Piggyback Network founder:
"Even though there are school buses that are taking children back and forth to school and home in some situations, we operate completely outside of any boundaries – every zip code, every time frame, if there’s a Saturday event, if there’s a summer camp, we can have parents activate and be a resource to each other in any situation."

So, I make it my point to make sure when they get into my vehicle, they know that I’m on their side. I’m going to get them home safely. And we’re going to have a little fun, too, if they want to.”
