Travelling to school in a school taxi brings about many stories out of children, mostly ones that bring a smile to their faces. A recent video showed school learners pushing a vehicle, a story they could add to the books.

No time to stall

It seems like it was many moons ago when people were posting comical and relatable clips of their children going back to school.

"People are out here acting like we never did this as kids! Switch your kids' transport if you are unhappy. You guys are always focusing on the wrong things!"
