More About School Buses
With so many independently owned transportation companies in the Coachbuslosangeles.com network serving greater Los Angeles, you're never stuck with just one provider's bus options on your date. Through the network, you can compare Type A mini school buses and Type B small school buses, which seat approximately 10 to 24 adults, a perfect fit for smaller student groups heading to destinations like the Getty Center (1200 Getty Center Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90049) or the 25-passenger minibus-sized trips that call for something compact and easy to maneuver through LA traffic. Need to move a much bigger group at once?
A Type C large conventional school bus seats approximately 44 to 48 adults, giving you serious passenger capacity for larger classes or youth organizations headed to Griffith Observatory (2800 E Observatory Rd, Los Angeles, CA 90027). Compare bus types side by side and choose the one that fits YOUR trip! At the Getty Center, buses park in the North Entry Parking garage via Sepulveda Boulevard at Getty Center Drive, where Getty Security directs school buses to designated spaces.

Smaller Type A and Type B school buses are ideal for navigating tighter streets near campuses in neighborhoods like Silver Lake or Echo Park, while the full-size Type C conventional school bus gives you wide bench seating, climate control, and the passenger capacity to move an entire grade level together. Many vehicles in the network also include a PA system that teachers and chaperones love for keeping students informed and on schedule during longer drives across the 405 or the 101.
