More About School Buses
You can count on finding the right school bus size for your group through the network! Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10–24 adults, making them a great fit for smaller groups navigating Manhattan's tight crosstown streets and crowded loading zones. Need more room?
A Type C large conventional school bus seats approximately 44–48 adults — perfect for a full class, a youth sports team, or a large organization heading to a destination across the five boroughs or beyond. Compare both sizes side by side, see vehicle photos, and find the right fit for your headcount in seconds!

How much is a School Bus rental?
Moving your group through Manhattan on a school bus costs $205–$365 per hour on weekdays, $240–$380 per hour on weekends, and $1,670–$2,335 per day — and your exact quote depends on your group size, your pickup location, how many hours you need the bus, and the specific date you're traveling. A Friday afternoon school trip heading downtown will price differently than a Saturday morning run to a tournament in New Jersey, and a full-day booking across Manhattan will look different from a quick two-hour transfer. The fastest way to see numbers for your trip?
