The story of the E.S.T.
During the boarding of a wheelchair-bound teenager (disabled) at Miami-MIA International Airport, where the bus did not have equipment adapted for boarding, Mr. Daniel Ribeiro was faced with the situation in which the driver and an assistant had to find a way to get the customer on board, carrying him on his lap to his seat. The same scene was repeated on other trips around the world, where it was distressing to observe the difficulties faced by people with different disabilities, through everyday situations apparently as simple as boarding a bus. There he noticed a problem that needed a solution.
The idea of a company specializing in the transport of children and adults with disabilities (motor, auditory, visual) came up in 2019, when Mr. Daniel Ribeiro decided to invest his expertise gained over more than 27 years as a businessman in the passenger transport sector, in the realization of a dream – to offer a differentiated service to this part of society, focusing on the quality and humanization of this service. Promoting the inclusion of people by offering them a safe means of transport to companies, schools, hospitals, institutions, industries, public bodies and others. Invest in safety, technology, training and fleet renewal. Have a qualification, training and assistance program for its employees in order to offer the best service to our users and families
