More About School Buses
Choosing the right school bus for your New Bedford group comes down to headcount, and the network has options for both ends of the spectrum. Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10–24 adults, making them a great fit for smaller groups like a classroom of younger students heading to the New Bedford Art Museum (608 Pleasant St, New Bedford, MA 02740) or a youth sports team traveling to a local field. For larger groups, the Type C large conventional school bus seats approximately 44–48 adults — plenty of room for a full class, chaperones included, heading to a destination like Battleship Cove (5 Water St, Fall River, MA 02721) or a regional science center.
Compare both types side by side through one easy form at 508-972-7130!
