Bus Decision Guide
Most buyers narrow it down with two questions: how many people need to ride, including the driver, and whether your drivers have a CDL. This guide answers both, points you to the right size or type, and explains what buying from a dealer gets you.
Which Bus Size Do You Need?
The number that matters most is 15. A bus built for 15 or fewer people, including the driver, can be driven on a regular license under federal law. At 16 and up, the driver needs a CDL with a passenger endorsement. If your drivers are volunteers or staff without a CDL, that one number often decides the size for you.
