Four steps between “I need to book” and “seat confirmed.” Three Bases Between You and Home Choose your date and route. Only genuinely open seats show up for that specific trip. Now for the bits that actually matter: Drop-off addresses need to be within Pinehurst neighbourhood. Kindly confirm with us if unsure. Every seat, every day, in a single transaction via PayFast or Ozow. You’ll get confirmation by email, and HomeRun’s team is notified at the same time, so your booking is secured the instant you pay. Bookings close 2 hours before each trip departs. Reschedule up to 12 hours before your trip, no penalty. Please keep your child home if they are unwell — it’s better for them, and for everyone else on board. Water bottles are welcome. Kindly ensure your child knows they must take the bus after school, and for which time slot they are booked. In the case of last-minute booking, it is the parent’s responsibility to ensure their child is aware to take the bus. Our admin team is available 10:00–16:00 on weekdays. Or message us on WhatsApp any time. To make our bus fun and the best ride in Cape Town for the kids, we will sometimes hand out complimentary treats on hot summer days, or to celebrate the end of a term or just a FRIYAY. Kindly let us know if your child has any allergies or is not allowed any treats. We will then make sure to accommodate all children accordingly. Due to servicing 2 schools per trip there will sometimes be a waiting period from pick-up to drop-off. We are working as quickly as possible and are committed to adhering to our set out time schedule. We are new and a first to our community, therefore we kindly ask parents to give us some grace and understanding, especially during our first few months – while we do our best to make HomeRun your kids’ favourite school bus! Something not going according to plan? Talk to us! We are all human and happy to help where we can.
