More About School Buses
No two groups are exactly alike, and the bus types available through the network reflect that. In Merced, you can compare Type A mini school buses and Type B small school buses, both of which comfortably seat approximately 10 to 24 adults and work beautifully for smaller groups heading to Applegate Park or shuttling students across the UC Merced campus (5200 North Lake Rd., Merced, CA 95343). UC Merced books group campus tours for schools by appointment and asks groups to allow 7 to 14 business days for confirmation, which leaves plenty of lead time to line up one bus for the whole class.
Need more room? A Type C large conventional school bus seats approximately 44 to 48 adults, giving bigger groups plenty of space for a comfortable, organized ride anywhere in Merced County and beyond. Call 209-354-8420 to talk through your options!
