More About School Buses
You'll find two main school bus categories available through the network serving Manchester, New Hampshire, and the right one depends entirely on your group size and trip type. A Type A mini or Type B small school bus comfortably seats approximately 10 to 24 adults, making it a smart, nimble pick for smaller groups navigating tighter New Hampshire routes or heading to local venues like the SEE Science Center (200 Bedford St, Manchester, NH 03101). SEE Science Center asks buses to drop students in the Bedford Street parking lot in front of the second-floor entrance, so your group can arrive together at the designated drop-off.
Need to move a much larger group? A Type C large conventional school bus seats approximately 44 to 48 adults, plenty of room for a full student roster, chaperones, and gear alike!
