More About School Buses
School Buses Available through the network come in two distinct size categories, so you're never paying for seats your group doesn't need. Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10–24 adults — the right fit for a small enrichment group heading to the Tucson Museum of Art on Alameda Street or a tight-knit STEM cohort visiting the Flandrau Science Center & Planetarium on University Boulevard. When your headcount is larger, Type C large conventional school buses seat approximately 44–48 adults, giving you the capacity to move an entire grade-level group to Reid Park Zoo on Zoo Court in one clean run.
Why limit yourself to one fleet? Compare school buses from a network of providers serving Tucson and the surrounding area — all in one place, with instant online pricing and vehicle photos, no account needed!

High-back padded seating keeps riders comfortable on longer runs, like the 45-minute drive north on AZ-77 to Biosphere 2 or the stretch south on I-19 toward Tubac Presidio State Historic Park.
Emergency exits, safety lighting, and stop-arm equipment are standard across all models. ADA-accessible school buses with wheelchair lifts are available through the network on request — just mention it when you fill out your quote!
