More About School Buses
The school bus network available through this website covers two distinct size categories, and matching the right one to your headcount is where the savings start. Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10–24 adults — a great fit for smaller youth groups, club outings, or a single classroom heading to Frederik Meijer Gardens & Sculpture Park (1000 E Beltline Ave NE, Grand Rapids, MI 49525) without paying for rows of empty seats. When your headcount climbs, the Type C large conventional school bus seats approximately 44–48 adults and handles the bigger loads — full-grade field trips, multi-team travel days, or a large youth organization moving through downtown Grand Rapids on a tight schedule.
You set the headcount. The network helps you compare bus options. Call 616-929-4540 or compare options online right now!
