More About School Buses
Wherever your Indianapolis group needs to go, Indianapolischarterbus.com helps you explore school bus options for the trip. Through Indianapolischarterbus.com, you can compare bus types ranging from compact Type A mini school buses and Type B small school buses, each seating approximately 10 to 24 adults, all the way up to the large, conventional Type C school bus, which seats approximately 44 to 48 adults. That's a serious amount of flexibility for field trips to the Indiana State Museum (650 W Washington St, Indianapolis, IN 46204), youth group outings to Conner Prairie (13400 Allisonville Rd, Fishers, IN 46038), or any Indianapolis group transportation need you have planned.
Buses use the Indiana State Museum's main entrance on Washington Street for drop-off and pick-up only and cannot remain in the circle drive. Your group can unload together, while the bus moves on from the entrance. Conner Prairie offers free bus parking, so your group can arrive together and use the venue's dedicated bus parking.
