THIRD SITTING

Company offers safe,
door-to-door service

WATCH OUT, North Shore Taxi and Sunshine Cabs;
there’s a new cabbie on the North Shore streets.

Kid’z Kab will take to the
Streets when kids get set to go
back to school in September.

It is the brainchild of West
Vancouver resident Terina Aqueci,
who decided in January that she
would start up 2 transportation
service taking children to and
from school.

Her first van, which can seat 11
passengers, is compietely booked,
and she will soon have a second
Kid’z Kab to service North Van-
couver and possibly 2 third to
cater to students attenting St.
Georges private school in Van-
couver.

She offers door-to-door service
from home to school or any other
destination and her vehicles are all
government safety inspected.

Aqueci, 2 single mother, is a
decorator by trade. She said she
first thought about starting up
Kid’z Kab because she was finding
it difficult taking her own children
to school, picking them up and
running her decorating business at
the same time.

“It was a real hassle to bug

“neighbors and friends to pick up
my kids, so I thought ‘why not

KID'Z KAB, the idea of West
Vanceuver resident Terina
Aqueci, will hit the streets of
the North Shore in September.
Her idea has won the support
of her two children, Pilar and
Gaby, in toragreund.

just concentrate on one thing
rather than split myself between
two things?’

“The reception has" just been
overwhelming,’ said Aqueci.

And she added that she is sur-
prised at how fast her new
business venture has grown.

“My original plan was to do
this for part of the day and then
spend part of the day at home
with my four-year-old. She'll now
travel with me for part of the

But Kid’z Kab is not just a taxi
service transporting students to
and from school. It’s a fun way to
travel.

While en route to their destina-
tions, children will be able to rock
to the sounds of dinosaur
rock’n’roll music and will also be
given buttons that say: “I rode
Kid’z Kab.”

The fares are $5 for one way or
$8.50 return within West Van-
couver. Special charter rates are
also available for birthdays and
special outings.

Aqueci said the service is the
first of its kind.

“*Teachers have asked me‘why
hasn’t anyone done this before?’
People in the neighborhood knew
I was doing it, but then it at-.
tracted a lot of attention when
people saw the Kid’z Kab van.

“Drivers on the street would
wave to me,’’ said Aqueci.

Her vans are equipped with
cellular phones, and because of
the demand for her service, she
now only accepts appointments by
advanced bookings.

“Our service is conceived out of
a need to improve the quality of
life for both parents and children
as we search for ways to improve
our efficiency on a daily basis.

“As we must all be aware of
the growing number of cars on the
road and their impact on the en-
vironment, we are faced with the
issue of safety for our children
and their safe delivery each day to
and from school,”’ said Aqueci.

She added that she will drive
each day until 4:30 p.m. and will
then have a part-time driver to
take students to functions such as
after-school sporting events. She
has also been asked to set.up a
franchise operation for Kid’z Kab.
