More About School Buses
Finding the right school bus rental in Cambridge is easier than ever through a large network of independently owned bus companies. Type C large conventional school buses seat approximately 44–48 adults, making them a natural fit for full classroom field trips to MIT's Kresge Auditorium (48 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge, MA 02139) or group visits to the Cambridge Discovery Park. Need something more compact?
Type A mini and Type B small school buses seat approximately 10–24 adults, perfect for smaller youth groups, after-school programs, or private tours. You're never locked into whatever one company has sitting in its lot, compare your bus types side by side! At Kresge, school buses unload at the designated stop across from the auditorium on Amherst Street (119 Amherst St.), then move to MIT's listed bus parking lots because parking is not allowed at the drop-off.
For a Cambridge class trip to the Harvard Museum of Natural History (26 Oxford Street, Cambridge, MA 02138), buses can drop off on Oxford Street, with off-site parking available on campus. That gives your school group a shared arrival point, while bus parking is separate from the curbside drop-off.
