More About School Buses
With so many different school bus options available through the network, finding the right fit for your group size and travel needs has never been easier. The network includes Type A mini school buses and Type B small school buses, which seat approximately 10 to 24 adults — a smart pick for smaller church youth groups or after-school program shuttles around Edison. Need room for a full class?
Type C large conventional school buses seat approximately 44 to 48 adults and are ideal for field trips to destinations like New Jersey charter bus routes heading to Liberty Science Center (222 Jersey City Blvd, Jersey City, NJ 07305) or Grounds for Sculpture (80 Sculptors Way, Hamilton, NJ 08619). Compare school buses side by side in one place, rather than limiting your search to one provider's listings! At Liberty Science Center, private and school buses use head-in parking in a lot that accommodates up to 60 buses and charges $10 per day, which isn't included in your free price quote.
Your group can arrive together and use the center's designated bus parking. Grounds For Sculpture limits school visits to 50 students or one bus every 15 minutes, and buses are directed to a designated parking area upon arrival; parking is free and first-come, first-served. One bus keeps the group together from drop-off to pickup.

Common Amenities Available on School Bus Rentals
What sets a school bus rental through Charterbusedison.com apart is the ability to compare amenities side by side from a school event bus rental network of independently owned companies, so you can find the features your group actually needs. Provider listings let you compare Type C conventional school buses with padded bench seating, climate control, and a PA system for announcements, making them an excellent fit for school field trip bus rentals to spots like Thomas Edison Center at Menlo Park (37 Christie Street, Edison, NJ 08820) or the New Jersey State Museum (205 W State St, Trenton, NJ 08608). At the Thomas Edison Center, free on-street parking is available for buses, so your class can arrive together.
Buses visiting the New Jersey State Museum unload and pick up on West State Street, then park in the Perry Street lot at the corner of Perry Street and Route 1. That gives the class a central drop-off before the bus heads to its parking lot. Smaller Type A and Type B models are available for school groups visiting Rutgers University (57 US-1, New Brunswick, NJ 08901) and community centers throughout Middlesex County.
