Choosing the right bus for your Hoover field trip comes down to your headcount and your itinerary.

A 25- or 35-passenger minibus fits a standard classroom perfectly.
And when you're moving an entire grade level to the Barber Vintage Motorsports Museum on Barber Motorsports Parkway, a 56-passenger charter bus — or a fleet of them — keeps every student accounted for in one coordinated trip.
