More About School Buses
Hartfordcharterbuscompany.com lets you compare every school bus size available through the network so your group is never squeezed into the wrong vehicle or paying for seats nobody is sitting in! For smaller groups, Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10–24 adults — compact enough to navigate Hartford's tighter neighborhood streets and pull up cleanly at venues like the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art (600 Main St, Hartford, CT 06103) without the oversized-vehicle headaches of a full-size coach. When your group is larger, the Type C conventional school bus seats approximately 44–48 adults and gives everyone room to spread out for longer rides across Connecticut.
Compare sizes, photos, and pricing side by side — and choose the bus that actually fits your headcount!
