More About School Buses
Hit the road in a vehicle built exactly for group travel! School buses come in two main configurations, and knowing the difference helps you match the right bus to your headcount. Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10–24 adults, making them a great pick for smaller groups, tight drop-off areas, or trips around Encinitas and the surrounding North County communities.
Type C large conventional school buses seat approximately 44–48 adults, giving you plenty of room for a full class plus chaperones. Both are purpose-built for moving groups safely and efficiently, and both are available to compare through the network. Fill out one form and see what's available for your date — it only takes about a minute!
