More About 56 Passenger Charter Buses
The 56-passenger charter bus is the workhorse of group travel — and in Chico, it earns that title each time your group needs to move together without splitting into a caravan of cars on Highway 32 or fighting for parking near downtown or Bidwell Park. These full-size motorcoaches carry your entire group in one climate-controlled cabin, with forward-facing seats, overhead storage, and undercarriage luggage bays deep enough for duffels, instruments, and gear. Popular models in the network include the MCI J4500, Prevost H3-45, and Van Hool CX45 — all built for long hauls and high headcounts.
Why limit yourself to one company's fleet? Compare 56-passenger charter buses from a network of providers serving Chico and all of Northern California, with vehicle photos and instant online pricing, no account needed!
