More About School Buses
School buses are a tried-and-true way to move student groups safely and efficiently — and through the network, you'll find two distinct size categories to match your headcount. Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10–24 adults, making them a great fit for smaller youth groups, church van alternatives, or tight Tyler side streets near campuses like Tyler Legacy High School on Red Raider Drive. Need to move a larger group?
Type C large conventional school buses seat approximately 44–48 adults, giving you the capacity to load an entire grade level in one trip. Why limit yourself to whatever one company has sitting in its lot? Compare school bus sizes, packages, and pricing from a network of independently owned transportation companies serving Tyler and all of East Texas!
