More About School Buses
Start your search and you'll quickly see why school buses are such a popular choice for groups in Merced! Through the network, you'll find two main school bus types to compare. Type C large conventional school buses seat approximately 44–48 adults, making them a great fit for full classrooms, large youth groups, or community organizations that need everyone on one vehicle.
Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10–24 adults, which makes them a smart pick for smaller groups, tighter budgets, or trips where a full-size bus would simply be too much. Compare both types side by side and find the right fit for YOUR group!

Common School Bus Amenities to Compare

Expect climate-controlled cabins to keep everyone comfortable whether you're heading through the summer heat of the San Joaquin Valley or the cooler mountain air near Yosemite. Many buses include overhead storage compartments for backpacks, jackets, and day bags, plus high-back padded seating for a more comfortable ride than a traditional yellow school bus.
PA systems are available on select models so chaperones and group leaders can address the whole group easily. ADA-accessible vehicles with wheelchair lifts are available through the network too — just mention it when you request your quote!
