More About School Buses
Not every group trip out of Springfield looks the same, and the school Buses Available through the network reflect that. Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10–24 adults — a great fit for a small club field trip to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame (1000 Hall of Fame Ave, Springfield, MA 01105) or a tight shuttle run between campuses along Wilbraham Road. Need to move a bigger crowd?
Type C large conventional school buses seat approximately 44–48 adults, giving you the capacity for a full class plus chaperones heading south on I-91 to Mystic Aquarium in Connecticut or east on the Mass Pike toward Boston. One vehicle, one driver, everyone accounted for — that’s the whole idea.
