More About School Buses
Whatever your group size, there's a school bus in the network built for it! Type C large conventional school buses seat approximately 44–48 adults, making them the go-to choice for full classrooms, large youth groups, and community organizations heading out together. Need something smaller?
Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10–24 adults — compact enough to navigate tighter drop-off zones and residential streets, but roomy enough to keep your group comfortable from the first pickup to the last stop. You'll find both types available through the network, so you can match the bus to your actual headcount instead of squeezing into whatever one company happens to have available!
