More About School Buses
Two school bus sizes are available through the network, and the right one comes down to your headcount. Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10–24 adults — compact enough to navigate the tight drop-off loop at Maymont (1000 Westover Rd, Richmond, VA 23220) or pull cleanly into the designated bus lane at the Science Museum of Virginia (2500 W Broad St, Richmond, VA 23220) without blocking traffic on West Broad Street. Need to move a larger group?
Type C large conventional school buses seat approximately 44–48 adults, giving you the capacity for a full grade-level field trip in a single vehicle. Why limit yourself to one fleet? Compare both sizes from a network of providers serving Richmond — all in one place, with instant pricing and no account required!
