More About School Buses
Not every group trip out of Cranston looks the same, and the school buses available through this website reflect that. Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10–24 adults, making them the right call for a smaller class section heading to RISD Museum (20 N Main Street, Providence, RI 02903-2784) or a youth group making the short run up Reservoir Avenue into Providence without dragging a half-empty full-size bus along for the ride. When the headcount climbs, a Type C large conventional school bus seats approximately 44–48 adults — plenty of room for a full grade level, a large congregation, or a travel sports team headed south on I-95 toward Foxborough. Cranstoncoachbusservice.com lets you compare both sizes from a network of Cranston-area operators to help you compare the bus to your actual headcount, not the other way around!
