More About School Buses
You'll find two primary school bus categories available through the Charterbusraleigh.com network, and each one serves a very different kind of group. Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10 to 24 adults — a smart, nimble fit for smaller student groups heading to Marbles Kids Museum (201 E Hargett St, Raleigh, NC 27601) or a quick cross-town transfer between campuses. For larger groups, a Type C large conventional school bus seats approximately 44 to 48 adults, giving coaches, chaperones, and student bodies plenty of room to ride together comfortably.
Because Charterbusraleigh.com connects you with a large network of independently owned school bus rental companies, you're never stuck with a single size option. Compare both types side by side and choose the bus that actually fits your headcount.
For field trips to the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences (11 W Jones St, Raleigh, NC 27601), all school groups must schedule through the museum's group registration page. Buses load and unload on Jones Street near the Nature Exploration Center, with free bus parking two blocks away at Blount and Jones Streets, so your group has a set drop-off and pickup point for a Raleigh school bus rental.
