More About 56 Passenger Charter Buses
The 56-passenger charter bus is the workhorse of group transportation — and in Bakersfield, it earns that title each time. These full-size motorcoaches handle the long haul down CA-58 toward the Mojave with ease, and they're sized right for the wide arterials around Ming Avenue and Stockdale Highway without the tight-turn headaches you'd face with an oversized vehicle on downtown side streets. Popular models like the MCI J4500, the Prevost H3-45, and the Van Hool CX45 give you a tall, walk-through cabin with a center aisle, reclining seats, and enough undercarriage bay space to stow every piece of luggage your group brings.
You'll have your pick of great options through the network — compare pictures, packages, and prices all in one place, no account needed!
