More About School Buses
Two school bus sizes cover every group you're moving across St. Louis. Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10–24 adults — compact enough to pull cleanly through the tight residential streets near Soulard, navigate the drop-off loop at The Magic House (516 S Kirkwood Rd, Kirkwood, MO 63122), and handle the narrow approach roads in Forest Park without the maneuvering headaches that come with a full-size coach. When your group is bigger, Type C large conventional school buses seat approximately 44–48 adults — plenty of room for a full class, chaperones, and all the gear that comes with a big field trip day.
Through Stlouischarterbusrentals.com, you can compare both sizes from a large network of independently owned transportation companies serving St. Louis, so you match the bus to your actual headcount instead of the other way around!
