More About School Buses
Charterbustacoma.com can connect your group with two main categories of school buses through our large network of independent transportation companies serving Tacoma. The Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10 to 24 adults, making them a smart, nimble choice for smaller youth groups, private school co-ops, or close-knit church groups navigating Tacoma's city streets near Stadium District or Hilltop. For larger groups, the Type C large conventional school bus seats approximately 44 to 48 adults, giving sports teams, academic clubs, and community organizations plenty of room to spread out comfortably.
With TONS of different options from a network of independently owned companies, you are never stuck with whatever one single fleet has available! For a school trip to the University of Washington Tacoma (1900 Commerce St, Tacoma, WA 98402), buses can unload at S 19th Street and Jefferson or Dolly Roberson Lane/C Street, but the campus has no designated bus parking, so buses must find street parking after unloading. Tacoma school bus rentals let your group arrive at one campus drop-off point together.
