More About School Buses
For the best fit, it helps to know exactly what you're comparing. Through the network, you'll find two main school bus categories sized to your group. Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10 to 24 adults — a great match for smaller groups, day trips around Columbia, or programs with limited headcount.
When your roster is bigger, the Type C large conventional school bus seats approximately 44 to 48 adults, keeping the whole group together on one vehicle instead of splitting across multiple cars. Compare both types side by side through the online quote tool, and choose the size that actually fits your group!
