Bark & Ride

The adventure bus for city dogs. One van, eight seats, launching October 2026.

What gap did you see?

City dogs need space to run, and busy owners need it to be easy. On-demand pet transport is unreliable and vague about timing.

So?

So we built a school bus — if school were the beach. Scheduled seats, honest times, and a tired, happy dog at the door.

Scheduled, not on-demand

Published trips with a date, a destination, eight seats and a booking cutoff. When it's full, it's full.

Door-to-door

A handler collects each dog along one shared route — approved by a human — and brings them home happy and tired.

Honest timing

A broad window at booking, a confirmed pickup time the evening before, and live updates at every step on the day.

Real adventures

Sunset Beach runs in Milnerton, Newlands Forest sniffaris and the Alphen Trail ramble in Constantia.

The horizon

Bark & Ride is the blueprint for the Two Cents playbook: validate with a single van in Cape Town, prove the unit economics per seat, then scale route by route.
