When planning a group trip, one of the first questions that comes up is: how many people can a charter bus hold? Whether you’re coordinating a school field trip, a corporate outing, a wedding shuttle, or a church retreat, understanding the seating capacity of your transportation can help ensure a smooth travel experience.
Typical Charter Bus Capacities
Charter buses come in various sizes to suit different group needs. At Atlantic Coast Charters, we operate a fleet of well-maintained motorcoaches with seating configurations that can accommodate a wide range of group sizes:
- 55-passenger bus: Our largest option, suitable for full class field trips, church groups, wedding parties, and other large gatherings.
Each of these buses is designed with comfort in mind, offering features such as reclining seats, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, onboard restrooms, and ADA accessibility upon request.
Choosing the Right Bus Size for Your Group
Selecting the right bus size depends on more than just headcount. Consider the following factors:
- Group Size: The most obvious consideration—ensure that every passenger has a designated seat.
- Luggage Requirements: Will your group be carrying luggage, equipment, or supplies? Larger groups with baggage may require a bigger bus or undercarriage storage.
- Trip Duration: Longer trips may benefit from larger buses that offer more space and amenities to enhance comfort.
- Accessibility Needs: If your group includes individuals with mobility needs, let us know. We have ADA-accessible buses available.
Our team is happy to help you assess your needs and match your group with the perfect vehicle.
Advantages of Traveling by Charter Bus
Charter buses aren’t just about capacity—they offer a host of benefits that make them a superior option for group travel:
- Comfort: Spacious seating, climate control, and onboard amenities make long trips more enjoyable.
- Safety: Our professional drivers are fully vetted and experienced, and our fleet is routinely inspected and maintained to the highest standards.
- Convenience: Travel together as a group without the stress of coordinating multiple cars, stops, or parking.
- Eco-Friendly: Fewer vehicles on the road mean lower emissions—charter buses are a green travel solution.
