More About School Buses
We connect groups across New York City with a large network of independently owned school bus companies, so you can view school bus options from the network in one place. Through Busrentalnewyorkcity.com, you can access Type A mini school buses and Type B small school buses — each seating approximately 10 to 24 adults — making them a sharp fit for smaller groups like academic clubs, youth organizations, or after-school program outings around Staten Island or Harlem. Need to move a bigger crowd?
A Type C large conventional school bus seats approximately 44 to 48 adults, giving you the capacity to transport an entire grade level to The Metropolitan Museum of Art (1000 Fifth Ave, New York, NY 10028) or the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum (Pier 86, 12th Ave & 46th St, New York, NY 10036) without splitting your group across multiple vehicles. For the Metropolitan Museum of Art, there is no school or charter bus parking nearby, so groups arriving together by bus need to plan pickup around the visit. NYC DOT lists bus layover locations, giving your group a designated place for the bus to wait between drop-off and pickup.
At the Intrepid Museum, groups of 15 or more have dedicated group entry and free bus parking, so your class can arrive and park together. For the American Museum of Natural History (200 Central Park West, New York, NY 10024-5102), buses enter via the 81st Street driveway, unload only when directed, receive assigned parking and departure times, and cannot lay over on 81st Street. Your group arrives together, with pickup timed to the assigned departure.
