More About School Buses
We connect Richmond groups with two primary school bus categories through the network. Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10 to 24 adults — an ideal fit for smaller youth groups, intimate class excursions, or compact athletic rosters headed to tournaments across Central Virginia. Need more room?
A Type C large conventional school bus rental seats approximately 44 to 48 adults, giving bigger groups the space they need for comfortable travel between Richmond schools and destinations like Maymont (1000 Westover Road, Richmond, VA 23220) or the Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden (1800 Lakeside Ave, Richmond, VA 23228). For school-year group programs, buses drop students at Lewis Ginter’s Robins Visitors Center, then proceed to the Children’s Garden for bus parking and pickup. Your group can unload at one spot before the bus parks nearby.
