More About School Buses
On this website, you'll find two main school bus types available through the network, and each one fits a different kind of trip. The Type C large conventional school bus seats approximately 44–48 adults, making it the go-to choice when the whole class is coming along — a full roster of students plus chaperones, all in one vehicle, all on the same schedule. The Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10–24 adults, which makes them a great fit for smaller groups, enrichment programs, or trips where you only need to move part of a grade.
Both types come with the familiar forward-facing bench seating and aisle layout that keeps everyone organized and easy to account for on a busy field trip day. Compare both types side by side through the network and find the one that fits your headcount!

How much does a School Bus cost?
No two school bus trips in Ann Arbor cost exactly the same, because the price depends on your group size, the day of the week, how many hours you need the bus, and where you're headed. School bus rentals in Ann Arbor cost $205–$365 per hour on weekdays, $240–$380 per hour on weekends, and $1,670–$2,335 per day. A weekday field trip to The Henry Ford (20900 Oakwood Blvd, Dearborn, MI 48124) will price differently than a Saturday all-day outing, and a 44-passenger Type C conventional bus will come in differently than a 15-passenger Type A mini.
