More About School Buses
Finding group transportation in San Mateo has never been easier — and a school bus is one of the most practical, no-fuss options available through the network! You'll find two main size categories to choose from depending on your headcount. Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10–24 adults, making them a great fit for smaller groups, youth sports teams, or trips where a full-size vehicle would be overkill.
Need to move a larger crowd? Type C large conventional school buses seat approximately 44–48 adults, giving everyone plenty of room to spread out for the ride. Compare your options side by side and find exactly what fits your group!
