More About School Buses
Start your search and you'll quickly discover that the school bus rental options available through Charterbussantamonica.com's network come in more than one shape and size, and that flexibility makes Santa Monica school bus rentals useful for groups of all kinds. Smaller Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10 to 24 adults, making them a sharp fit for intimate field trips, small youth group outings, or a compact athletic team traveling to a nearby competition. Need to move a bigger crowd?
A Type C large conventional school bus seats approximately 44 to 48 adults, giving you the kind of capacity that keeps everyone together and on schedule. Whether you're coordinating a class trip to the California Science Center (700 Exposition Park Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90037), where group or bus parking is available and field-trip reservation questions go to 213-744-2019, or shuttling a youth sports league to a tournament, the network offers school bus options for both kinds of group travel. Your class can ride together instead of splitting into cars.
