More About School Buses
Booking a school bus in Cambridge through Cambridgecharterbuscompany.com means you are never stuck with whatever one company happens to have parked on its lot. Because Cambridgecharterbuscompany.com is not a local bus company, you can compare school buses from a large network of independently owned transportation companies serving Cambridge, the greater Boston metro, and destinations as far as Plimoth Patuxet (137 Warren Ave, Plymouth, MA 02360) and Minute Man National Historical Park (174 Liberty St, Concord, MA 01742). You will find both the large conventional Type C school bus, seating approximately 44–48 adults, and the more compact Type A mini and Type B small school buses, seating approximately 10–24 adults — a critical distinction when your destination is a tight drop-off zone on Oxford Street near Harvard or a narrow stretch of Brattle Street in Cambridge.

Amenities Commonly Found on School Bus Rentals
You can count on a school bus rental in Cambridge to deliver the practical, dependable features your group actually needs for a great trip! Type C large conventional school buses come with high-back padded bench seating for approximately 44–48 adults, overhead handrails, emergency exits, and climate control — everything a full class of students or a large adult group needs for a comfortable ride from Cambridge to the New England Aquarium (1 Central Wharf, Boston, MA 02110) or the Museum of Fine Arts (465 Huntington Ave, Boston, MA 02115). The smaller Type A and Type B models seat approximately 10–24 adults and are far more maneuverable in tight Cambridge corridors — ideal when your drop-off is in Harvard Square or along the congested Vassar Street corridor near MIT (77 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139).
