More About School Buses
Browse school buses from a large network of independently owned transportation companies and you'll find two main categories for groups of all sizes across Birmingham, Alabama. The Type C large conventional school bus seats approximately 44 to 48 adults. That capacity is relevant for full classrooms, large youth organizations, and sports teams traveling to competitions or tournaments around Jefferson County and beyond.
Smaller groups travel aboard Type A mini and Type B small school buses, which seat approximately 10 to 24 adults, for after-school programs, scouting troops, and smaller field trip groups heading to destinations like the Birmingham Museum of Art (2000 Rev Abraham Woods Jr Blvd, Birmingham, AL 35203) or the McWane Science Center (200 19th St N, Birmingham, AL 35203). Buses unload in front of the Museum on Rev. Abraham Woods, Jr. Boulevard across from Linn Park, with bus parking in front or along City Walk on 9th Avenue North between 19th and 16th Streets North.
McWane buses unload at cutouts on 2nd Avenue North and 19th Street North, then use complimentary parking in a remote lot. At both stops, school groups have a designated place to unload together.
