More About School Buses
Look no further than a school bus rental when your group needs dependable, no-frills transportation across Pasadena and the surrounding San Gabriel Valley! Through the network, you'll find two main school bus categories to compare. Type C large conventional school buses seat approximately 44–48 adults — ideal for full class field trips to the Huntington Library, Art Museum, and Botanical Gardens (1151 Oxford Rd, San Marino, CA 91108) or group shuttles along the I-210 corridor.
Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10–24 adults, making them a great fit for smaller groups, youth programs, and tight neighborhood pickup routes. Compare both through one quick form!
