More About School Buses
With Chicocharterbuscompany.com, booking a school bus in Chico means you're comparing vehicles from a large network of independently owned transportation companies — not settling for whatever one local fleet has left on the lot. Type C large conventional school buses seat approximately 44–48 adults, making them ideal for full classrooms, youth groups, and large church congregations heading to events across Butte County. Need something smaller?
Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10–24 adults and are a great pick for smaller groups, special-needs transport, and tight drop-off locations around the Chico State campus or downtown. You choose the size that fits YOUR group!
