More About School Buses
The school Buses Available through the network come in two main size categories, and picking the right one for your Albany group makes a real difference. Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10–24 adults — compact enough to navigate the tight turns near Washington Park or pull cleanly into the drop-off loop at the Albany Institute of History & Art at 125 Washington Avenue without the maneuvering headaches that come with a larger vehicle. Need to move a bigger group?
Type C large conventional school buses seat approximately 44–48 adults, giving you the capacity for a full class plus chaperones on a trip to Thacher State Park at 830 Thacher Park Road, with a west entrance along SR 157, in Voorheesville. Because Albanycharterbusrentals.com pulls from a large network of independently owned transportation companies, you're never stuck with whatever one operator happens to have available — you compare what actually fits your headcount!
