More About School Buses
We help you compare school bus types from a large network of independently owned transportation companies serving Pleasanton, Dublin, Livermore, and the entire Tri-Valley region, so you always find the right fit for your group size and your budget. Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10 to 24 adults, making them a smart, nimble choice for smaller student groups heading to destinations like the Pleasanton Museum on Main (603 Main St, Pleasanton, CA 94566) or the Pleasanton Public Library (400 Old Bernal Ave., Pleasanton, CA 94566). School tours at the Museum on Main are limited to 25 students, their chaperones, and teacher, so a Pleasanton school bus rental can bring the class together for one tour group.
Need to move a larger group? A Type C large conventional school bus seats approximately 44 to 48 adults, giving every student, chaperone, and faculty member a dedicated seat for the ride!
