More About School Buses
School Buses Available through the network come in two main configurations, and picking the right one for your Santa Ana trip 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 around Century High School on South Grand Avenue or pull cleanly into the drop-off loop at Discovery Cube Orange County on North Main Street without blocking the main entrance. Need to move a bigger group?
Type C large conventional school buses seat approximately 44–48 adults, giving a full class plenty of room for backpacks, lunches, and jackets without anyone sitting on top of each other. Both configurations keep your students together in one vehicle, on one schedule, with one driver — which is exactly what field trip day calls for.
