We believe in simple solutions

HOW IT WORKS

Three Bases Between You and Home

PICK YOUR TRIP

Choose your date and route.


Bookings open up to a month ahead, so you can plan the whole month in one sitting if you’d rather not
think about it again. No minimum number of seats are required per booking.

CHECK LIVE SEATS

Only genuinely open seats show up for that specific trip.


Think of it like booking a movie seat, what you see is what you get, no overbooking, ever.
Need to book more than one trip, or seats for more than one child?
Add them all to the same cart before you pay — one checkout covers everything.

ADD THE DETAILS

Now for the bits that actually matter:


Your name, surname, cell number and email.
Then each child’s name, surname,
school and class, specify allergies
– and if they attend aftercare. One home address needs to be provided per checkout,

to secure your child’s drop off at your doorstep.

GOOD TO KNOW:

Drop-off addresses need to be within Pinehurst neighbourhood, kindly confirm with us if unsure.
If your address falls outside Pinehurst, drop-off defaults to Parking – Fives Futbol Club – Pinehurst Drive.
NB Please make sure somebody is at home during time of drop off.

PAY & YOU’RE IN


One payment covers your entire cart

Every seat, every day, in a single transaction via PayFast. You’ll get confirmation by email, and at
the exact same time Homerun’s team is notified too, so your booking is secured the instant you pay.

A Few Things Worth Knowing Before You Book


Booking cutoff:

Bookings close 2 hours before each trip departs.

Change of plans:

Reschedule up to 12 hours before your trip, no penalty.

Health:

Please keep your child home if they are unwell — it’s better for them, and for everyone else on board.

On board:

Water bottles are welcome.

At pick-up:

Kindly ensure your child knows they must take the bus after school, and for which timeslot they are booked. In case of last-minute booking, it is the parent’s responsibility to ensure their child is aware to take the bus.
This is to ensure we keep aligned with our set timeline to get everyone home asap.

Questions:

Our admin team is available 10:00–16:00 on weekdays, or message us on WhatsApp any time.

Treats:

To make our bus fun and the best ride in Cape Town for the kids, we will sometimes be having some 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 are not allowed any treats. We will then make sure to accommodateall children accordingly.

Waiting period:

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 adhere to our set out time schedule.

We are new:

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!
