How many passengers does a full size charter bus hold? 🚌

If you're planning group transportation, knowing how many people fit on one bus is one of the first questions to answer.

A full-size charter bus, also called a motorcoach, can typically accommodate up to 56 passengers.

That makes a 56-passenger motorcoach a popular option for:
🎓 College & university groups
🏫 School field trips
🏆 Sports teams
💼 Corporate events
⛪ Community & faith groups
🗺️ Tour groups

Of course, seating capacity can vary by vehicle, so it's important to match the bus to your group's actual passenger count and luggage or equipment needs.

👀 Our buses are watching you. And that's a good thing. 🚌

If you've ever driven near a school bus, you know that a flashing red light means one thing: STOP.

National Trails uses BusPatrol technology on equipped school buses to help identify vehicles that illegally pass stopped school buses.

Here's how it works:
🚌 A school bus stops and activates its warning lights.
📹 BusPatrol cameras can capture vehicles that illegally pass the bus.
🔎 The recorded evidence can help law enforcement investigate violations.
🚸 The goal? Encourage drivers to stop and help keep students safe.

Passing a stopped school bus isn't just a traffic violation. It's a decision that can put a child in danger.

Our buses are watching. But more importantly, our communities are counting on all of us to watch out for children.

Slow down. Pay attention. STOP for the school bus.
