Taxi dispatch system calibrated for school run work in Oxford. TfL and council-licensed PHV ready. Recurring AM/PM schedules, DBS-checked driver pool, council reporting.

School-run dispatch is the operation of recurring AM/PM passenger transport for council contracts, SEN routes, and private school shuttles. It requires DBS-checked (or equivalent country-level background-checked) drivers, fixed driver-to-route assignments, safeguarding reporting, and the operational discipline to absorb school-calendar changes (snow days, exam days, half-terms) without re-quoting the contract.
