More About School Buses
Through Charterbusrentaloaklandca.com, you can compare multiple school bus types from a large network of independently owned transportation companies serving Oakland, so your group size, your headcount, and your itinerary always drive the decision. Smaller groups traveling around the Oakland Unified School District or heading to Chabot Space & Science Center (10000 Skyline Blvd, Oakland, CA 94619) can compare Type A mini or Type B small school bus options, which seat approximately 10 to 24 adults. Larger student groups headed to Oakland Museum of California (1000 Oak St, Oakland, CA 94607) or cross-town academic competitions can compare a Type C large conventional school bus, which seats approximately 44 to 48 adults.
Chabot has limited bus parking, and school-group drop-offs take place outside the main entrance. A school bus rental brings the class to one shared drop-off instead of splitting students among cars. At OMCA, buses may drop off at the School Group Entrance on 10th Street, in the Amphitheater at Fallon Street.
The museum has no designated bus parking in its garage, so a school bus gives students one shared drop-off while bus parking is arranged separately.
