Common School Bus Amenities to Compare
Compare school buses from a network of independently owned transportation companies and you'll quickly discover that the right amenities make every trip smoother for students and chaperones alike! School buses in the network can come equipped with comfortable bench-style seating, climate control to handle warm Southern California afternoons, and a PA system to keep everyone informed on the road. Some larger Type C conventional school buses offer overhead storage for backpacks, gear, and supplies, ideal for school field trip transportation heading to destinations like the California Science Center or the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (900 Exposition Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90007).
School bus drop-off and pick-up there happen on Exposition Park Drive in front of the Museum's South Lawn, so your whole class steps off together in one spot and meets the bus in that same spot at the end of the visit. Amenities vary by bus, so mention your must-haves when you request your quote!

A small Type A or Type B school bus for a short Westside shuttle will land toward the lower end of that range, while a full-size Type C school bus for an all-day field trip to the Getty Center (1200 Getty Center Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90049) or a long-distance academic excursion will naturally run higher. A Getty group reservation includes reserved parking for your group's bus, at $80 for a mini-coach (up to 30 seats) or $185 for a motorcoach (30+ seats), which may not be included in your price quote.
