More About School Buses
Through the network, you'll find two main school bus types ready to match your group's exact headcount. The Type C large conventional school bus seats approximately 44–48 adults — the classic long-body design that keeps a full class together on one vehicle, with overhead storage and a center aisle wide enough for students to move comfortably. Smaller groups have great options too: the Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10–24 adults, making them a perfect fit for a smaller club, a select ensemble, or a traveling sports squad that doesn't need a full-size coach.
Why limit yourself to one fleet? Compare school buses from a network of providers serving Durham — all in one place, with instant online pricing and vehicle photos, no account needed!
