As @Forbes captures, @ritun understood early that transforming student mobility meant transforming the entire system.
26M students depend on the school bus every day — the largest mass transit system in America and the most important commute in the country.
That’s why Zum built CMX from the ground up: to bring student mobility into the modern era and deliver more reliable service, greater peace of mind for families and better access to education.
Thank you @mcgrathmag for capturing Ritu’s vision and the impact Zum is delivering nationwide.
