More About School Buses
Through Paloaltocharterbuscompany.com's national booking platform, you can compare Palo Alto school bus rental options by group size, headcount, and itinerary, with independent local providers supplying the vehicles. Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10 to 24 adults, making them a sharp fit for smaller youth groups, academic club outings, or intimate campus shuttles across Stanford University (450 Jane Stanford Way, Stanford, CA 94305) or the Palo Alto Unified School District (25 Churchill Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94306-1099). Need more room?
A Type C large conventional school bus seats approximately 44 to 48 adults, giving larger groups the space they need. For a field trip to Stanford, tour bus parking reservations are suspended under Stanford's tour bus protocol, so groups need a drop-off and pickup plan rather than reserved campus bus parking. Compare bus types and sizes side by side, all in one place!
