More About School Buses
You'll love that Charterbusrentalboston.com connects you with TONS of different school bus types through a large network of independent transportation companies serving Boston, so you can explore options for your student group, your headcount, and your schedule. Type C large conventional school buses seat approximately 44 to 48 adults and are the go-to choice for full classroom loads heading to venues like the New England Aquarium (1 Central Wharf, Boston, MA 02110) or the Boston school field trip bus rental circuit. Aquarium field-trip buses use the designated turnaround for drop-off and pickup, which is limited to 10 minutes; bus parking is recommended at 300 Terminal Street, 2.3 miles away.
Your rented school bus keeps students together for drop-off, then parks off-site while the class visits. Need something smaller? Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10 to 24 adults — a perfect fit for smaller student groups, specialized programs, or tight urban drop-offs near Fenway Park or the historic Freedom Trail. Compare both options instantly!
