More About School Buses
Forget the headache of coordinating a long line of parent carpools or cramming your group into vehicles that weren't built for the job! Through the network of independently owned transportation companies serving Washington, DC, you'll find two main school bus types ready for your trip. The Type C large conventional school bus seats approximately 44–48 adults — ideal for full class trips to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (100 Raoul Wallenberg Pl.
SW, Washington, DC 20024) or large youth group outings. The Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10–24 adults, making them a great fit for smaller groups, after-school programs, and tighter DC streets where a full-size bus would struggle to maneuver. Compare both types side by side — with pictures and pricing — in under 30 seconds!
