More About School Buses
Choose from two primary school bus categories through the Ocalacharterbuscompany.com network, and find the one that fits your exact group size and travel need. A Type A mini or Type B small school bus seats approximately 10 to 24 adults — a smart, nimble option for smaller student groups heading to Silver Springs State Park (1425 NE 58th Ave, Ocala, FL 34470) or the Appleton Museum of Art (4333 E Silver Springs Blvd, Ocala, FL 34470). Need to move a much larger group?
A Type C large conventional school bus comfortably seats approximately 44 to 48 adults, making it ideal for full-grade field trips or athletic team travel across team sports transportation in the region. Ocalacharterbuscompany.com is not a bus company, so you are never stuck with whatever one single provider happens to have available, you get TONS of different bus options from a large network of independent providers!
For Marion County Public Schools trips to the Appleton, buses drop students off at the museum's main entrance and park in large spaces west of the building. For a group riding together, that means one planned drop-off and a designated place for the bus to park. At the Appleton's youth tours, grades K-3 require one adult chaperone for every five students and have a maximum group size of 30, while grades 4-12 require one adult chaperone for every 10 students; the museum recommends scheduling group visits at least one month in advance.
