More About School Buses
Wherever your group is headed in the Salinas Valley — from a student field trip to the Steinbeck Center (1 Main St, Salinas, CA 93901) to an athletic team traveling down US-101 for a tournament — you can explore school bus options in the network for trips like these. The Steinbeck Center allows bus passengers to unload directly in front, with free motorcoach parking at the Amtrak train station one block away. Your group can unload together and avoid searching for bus parking.
Type C large conventional school buses seat approximately 44 to 48 adults, making them ideal for full classrooms, youth sports teams, and large group outings. Need something smaller? Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10 to 24 adults — a smart, right-sized option for smaller groups heading to nearby destinations like Marina State Beach or the Salinas Amtrak Station (11 Station Pl, Salinas, CA 93901). Compare your options in one place!
