More About School Buses
School buses come in a range of sizes through the network, so you can match the vehicle to your actual headcount instead of overpaying for space you don't need. Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10–24 adults — a great fit for smaller student groups, church youth outings, or a compact team heading to a tournament at Children's Mercy Park in Sporting Kansas City territory. Need more room?
Type C large conventional school buses seat approximately 44–48 adults, making them the right call for a full classroom heading to Union Station Kansas City or a marching band moving equipment across town. Whatever your headcount, there's a bus in the network sized for it!
