More About School Buses
With so many different groups and trip types across Encinitas and the surrounding San Diego County area, it helps to know exactly what you're comparing! Through the network, you'll find two main school bus categories ready for your group. Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10–24 adults — a great fit for smaller groups, youth teams, or trips where a compact vehicle navigates tight school drop-off lanes or coastal parking areas with ease.
Type C large conventional school buses seat approximately 44–48 adults, keeping bigger groups together on one vehicle for longer runs down the 5 or inland toward Escondido and beyond. Compare both side by side and choose the size that fits your headcount!
