OUTSOURCING KID-SHUFFLING: Shuddle is a new ridesharing service for busy parents and kids.

You could call it a chauffeur service for kids. Modelled after ride-sharing service Uber, parents in the US can now hire out private drivers to pick their kids up from school or soccer practice when their schedules don’t permit. 

The knee-jerk reaction to Shuddle may be one of scepticism. After all, the first thing we tell children is to never, ever, climb into the car of strangers.
