Why Groups Choose The 72-Passenger Type D Transit School Bus
The Type D Transit-Style School Bus is the highest capacity dedicated student transit platform available.

It bridges the gap between traditional school buses and expensive charter coaches, offering generous undercarriage pass-through storage for athletic equipment and marching band instruments at an unbeatable budget-friendly school charter rate.
