More About School Buses
The school buses available through the Sanluisobispocharterbuscompany.com network in San Luis Obispo come in several sizes built to match your exact headcount. Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10 to 24 adults, making them a smart pick for smaller youth groups, daycare outings, or compact field trips to spots like San Luis Obispo Children's Museum (1010 Nipomo St, San Luis Obispo, CA 93401). Museum field trips start at 10 a.m. on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and require one adult chaperone per five children, so count chaperones when choosing your bus size.
