More About School Buses
Start your search knowing that the school buses available through the network come in two distinct size categories to match your exact headcount and itinerary. Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10 to 24 adults, making them a sharp fit for smaller Carlsbad field trip groups, youth sports teams, or church youth groups traveling to destinations like LEGOLAND California (1 Legoland Dr, Carlsbad, CA 92008) or the Museum of Making Music (5790 Armada Dr, Carlsbad, CA 92008). At LEGOLAND California, school buses should stay in the far-right lane on arrival, and free bus parking is provided in a designated area of the lot.
Your field trip group can arrive together and park the bus for free on site. The Museum of Making Music has free parking, including two spaces reserved for buses and RVs. Your group can ride together and park on site in a bus space instead of splitting into separate cars.
Need more room? A Type C large conventional school bus seats approximately 44 to 48 adults, giving bigger groups the space they need for a longer ride down I-5 or SR-78 without anyone feeling cramped.
