More About School Buses
Through the network, you'll find two primary school bus types ready to serve Oakland-area groups of almost any size. The Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10 to 24 adults, making them a sharp fit for smaller youth groups, after-school programs, or intimate field trips to destinations like the Oakland Museum of California (1000 Oak St, Oakland, CA 94607) or Chabot Space & Science Center (10000 Skyline Blvd, Oakland, CA 94619). At the museum, buses can drop off at the School Group Entrance on 10th Street, so the whole class steps off together at one door.
Chabot asks that only standard school bus-sized vehicles or smaller arrive on site, which means a school bus rental can bring your group straight to the drop-off zone near the main entrance. Need to move a bigger crowd? The Type C large conventional school bus seats approximately 44 to 48 adults, ideal for full-class field trips, athletic team travel, or school-wide events.
Compare both types side by side from a large network of bus companies serving Oakland and the surrounding East Bay.
