More About School Buses
No matter the size of your group, you'll find a school bus in the network that fits! The Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10–24 adults, making them a great pick for smaller classes, youth groups, or specialty programs that don't need a full-size vehicle. When the whole grade is coming along, the Type C large conventional school bus seats approximately 44–48 adults and gives everyone plenty of room for backpacks, lunches, and gear.
Compare both sizes side by side in seconds through Busrentalpaloalto.com, and find the bus that actually fits your headcount — not the other way around! Call 650-252-7460 any time for help choosing the right fit!
