More About School Buses
When your group needs transportation around San Francisco, a San Francisco school bus rental lets you compare bus options online. Through the network, you will find two primary categories to compare. Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10 to 24 adults, making them a natural fit for smaller youth groups, daycare outings, and compact field trip rosters headed to places like the California Academy of Sciences (55 Music Concourse Dr, San Francisco, CA 94118) or the Exploratorium (Pier 15, San Francisco, CA 94111).
At the California Academy of Sciences, the field-trip bus loading and unloading zone is at the front of the Academy. Your group can arrive together at one shared drop-off with a school bus rented through Charterbussanfrancisco.com. Need more room?
A Type C large conventional school bus seats approximately 44 to 48 adults, giving bigger groups room to travel across the city. At the Exploratorium, the Pier 15/17 bus zone is for passenger loading and unloading only, and there is no onsite parking. A bus rented through Charterbussanfrancisco.com gives your group one shared place to board or exit, with the bus parking off-site.
Call 415-363-0199 and a live agent will match you with the right fit.
