More About School Buses
One of the biggest advantages of booking a school bus rental in Washington, DC through Washingtoncharterbuscompany.com is the variety you get access to immediately. The network includes Type A mini and Type B small school buses, which seat approximately 10 to 24 adults — a perfect fit for smaller student groups heading to the United States Botanic Garden (100 Maryland Ave. SW, Washington, DC 20001) or a compact class touring Capitol Hill. The Garden has no tour-bus parking, so buses use the First Street SW drop-off/pick-up point and the tour-bus route to Parking Lot B at Union Station.
Your class can arrive together at the Garden while its bus parks at Union Station. Need more room? A Type C large conventional school bus seats approximately 44 to 48 adults, making it ideal for full-grade field trips to the Smithsonian Institution.
