One form is all it takes to compare every bus type available through the network — and there are plenty to choose from! For smaller classes and day trips around Mesa, a 15- to 35-passenger minibus is compact enough to handle school drop-off loops and city parking lots without a headache. When the whole grade is coming along, a 56-passenger charter bus keeps every student and chaperone together on one itinerary, with overhead storage for backpacks and lunches, climate control for those warm Arizona mornings, and undercarriage bays for equipment.
