More About School Buses
You'll have your pick of school bus types through the network, so you can match the bus to your exact headcount and itinerary! Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10 to 24 adults, making them a great fit for smaller youth groups, church outings, or a compact class heading to Panorama Park (28905 Avenida Maravilla, Cathedral City, CA 92234). When the whole grade is coming along, a Type C large conventional school bus seats approximately 44 to 48 adults and keeps every student and chaperone together on one itinerary — no parent carpool coordination required.
