More About School Buses
The school Buses Available through the network come in two main configurations, and the right one depends entirely on your headcount. Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10–24 adults — compact enough to navigate the tight drop-off loops at Irvine's elementary campuses and pull cleanly into the loading zones at venues like the Irvine Barclay Theatre (4242 Campus Dr, Irvine, CA 92612) without needing a wide turning radius. Need more room?
Type C large conventional school buses seat approximately 44–48 adults — the go-to for a full class heading down I-405 to the Discovery Cube Orange County in Santa Ana or across the 5 to the Mission San Juan Capistrano. Compare both side by side from a network of companies serving Irvine and all of South Orange County!
