More About School Buses
Choose from two distinct school bus sizes depending on your headcount and your itinerary! Through the network, you'll find Type C large conventional school buses seating approximately 44–48 adults — the classic full-size yellow bus, built for big groups heading to venues like the Charlotte Motor Speedway or Spectrum Center. For smaller groups, Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10–24 adults, making them a nimble, cost-effective pick for tighter routes through Uptown Charlotte or neighborhood pickups across Mecklenburg County.
Compare both sizes, side by side, from a large network of independently owned transportation companies — all in one place, with photos and instant online pricing, no account needed!
