More About School Buses
Find the perfect fit for your student group when you compare school bus types through Charterbusrentalsanfrancisco.com's large network of San Francisco transportation providers. A Type C large conventional school bus seats approximately 44 to 48 adults and delivers high-capacity transportation that makes large group travel across San Francisco manageable, whether you're heading to Golden Gate Park, the Exploratorium at Pier 15, or a cross-town academic competition. Need something smaller?
Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10 to 24 adults, making them ideal for compact groups navigating the city's narrow residential streets and busy downtown corridors without the bulk of a full-size coach.
At the California Academy of Sciences (55 Music Concourse Drive, San Francisco, CA 94118), school buses load and unload at the front, and bus street parking is often available west of Golden Gate Park near JFK Drive and Lindale Meadow. Your group can arrive and leave together, without a separate car-parking hunt.
For the Exploratorium (Pier 15, Embarcadero at Green Street, San Francisco, CA 94111), the Pier 15/17 bus zone is for loading and unloading only; buses stage on Green Street before proceeding to the Pier 15 loading zone, with short-term coach parking at 100 North Point Street. Your group can board together at one loading zone instead of searching for separate rides.
