More About School Buses
Not every group trip out of Cary looks the same, and the school buses available through this network reflect that. For smaller groups — a single classroom, a scout troop, or a youth ministry — Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10 to 24 adults and are compact enough to navigate the tighter drop-off zones at places like Cary Arts Center (101 Dry Ave, Cary, NC 27511) or the loading areas along Academy Street near Pagoda Academy. For a full-grade field trip or a large athletic delegation heading down I-40 toward Chapel Hill or Durham, the Type C large conventional school bus seats approximately 44 to 48 adults and can provide each passenger a seat with room for backpacks, equipment bags, and everything else your group is hauling along. Carycoachbusservice.com lets you compare both types from a network of local Cary-area companies so you can identify a bus that fits your actual headcount — not the other way around.

Heading to Pullen Park (520 Ashe Ave, Raleigh, NC 27606) for a spring field day, or making the run down NC-55 to the Triangle Land Conservancy for an outdoor science program? The school buses in the network may include features intended to keep your group comfortable from pickup to drop-off.
