Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10–24 adults, making them a great fit for smaller groups, intimate field trips, or organizations that don't need a full-size coach.
Type C large conventional school buses seat approximately 44–48 adults, giving larger groups plenty of room to spread out and travel together comfortably. Whether your group is heading across Knoxville or making a longer run through East Tennessee, the right size school bus is available and ready to compare right here!
