More About School Buses
Get access to two distinct school bus categories through the network, so your group size never forces you into a vehicle that's too big or too small! Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10–24 adults — ideal for smaller youth groups, church outings, or a classroom heading to Santa Fe College (3000 NW 83rd St, Gainesville, FL 32606) for a college preview day. When your headcount climbs, the Type C large conventional school bus seats approximately 44–48 adults, giving every student and chaperone a seat without squeezing anyone in.
Compare both categories side by side through the network and find the size that actually fits your roster!
