More About School Buses
With Charterbusrentalnewyork.com, you'll have access to TONS of different school bus types from a large network of independently owned transportation companies serving New York City. Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10 to 24 adults — perfect for smaller youth groups, after-school programs, or intimate field trips through Central Park or across to Brooklyn. Need something bigger?
A Type C large conventional school bus seats approximately 44 to 48 adults, making it ideal for full-class trips to the American Museum of Natural History (200 Central Park West, New York, NY 10024) or the Metropolitan Museum of Art (1000 Fifth Ave, New York, NY 10028). At the American Museum of Natural History, school buses use the 81st Street driveway for loading and unloading, and museum staff assign bus parking. Your group boards at the designated driveway, while the bus parks in its assigned area and cannot lay over on 81st Street.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art has no school or charter bus parking nearby, so your group needs a separate bus layover location. Compare New York City school bus rental options instantly!
