More About School Buses
Use Coachbustucson.com to compare two very different school bus types available through the network, and pick the one that actually fits your group. The Type A mini school bus and Type B small school bus seat approximately 10–24 adults, a compact, maneuverable option perfect for smaller student groups navigating the tight parking lots at venues like the Tucson Convention Center (260 S Church Ave, Tucson, AZ 85701) or the winding roads leading out to Saguaro National Park (3693 S Old Spanish Trail, Tucson, AZ 85730). The Tucson Convention Center permits loading and unloading in designated Lot A and Lot B driveway areas and prohibits loading docks, the South Fire Lane, ramps, and red curbs, giving groups designated driveways for loading and unloading.
For ranger-guided field trips, Saguaro National Park asks schools to notify the park in advance for approval when more than one bus is needed, making bus count an important part of choosing a school bus size. Need to move a larger crowd? The Type C large conventional school bus seats approximately 44–48 adults, giving full teams, entire grade levels, or multi-class field trip groups plenty of room to spread out comfortably for longer hauls across Southern Arizona.
