More About 56 Passenger Charter Buses
The 56-passenger charter bus is the full-size workhorse of group transportation — and in St. Petersburg, that matters more than people expect. The Sunshine Skyway Bridge approach on I-275, the Gandy Boulevard corridor, and the pinch points heading into downtown St. Pete on Central Avenue all demand a driver who knows the route, not a rotating cast of rideshare strangers. Full-size motorcoaches handle the long straight shot down I-275 into Tampa with ease, and they have the undercarriage luggage capacity to handle everything your group brought along for the trip.
You'll find popular models like the MCI J4500, Prevost X3-45, and Van Hool CX45 available through the network — all of them tall enough to walk to your seat without ducking, all of them built for exactly this kind of group.

How much is a 56 Passenger Charter Bus rental?
