Common School Bus Amenities to Compare
Heading to COSI Columbus (333 W Broad St, Columbus, OH 43215)? School buses use the Washington Boulevard drop-off area, and city parking costs $30 per bus or oversized van that does not fit in a garage or single parking space, which isn't included in your free price quote.
Call 614-591-0550 and a live support agent will walk you through every amenity option available through the network of Columbus school bus providers. Depending on the vehicle, your group may enjoy reclining padded seats, a PA system perfect for teachers or group leaders making announcements on the road, overhead storage for backpacks and gear, and air conditioning for warm-weather field trips to destinations like Columbus Zoo and Aquarium (4850 Powell Rd, Powell, OH 43065) or the Franklin Park Conservatory (1777 E Broad St, Columbus, OH 43203). Zoo school buses use a designated drop-off zone in the parking lot, then proceed to separate bus parking, so your group can unload at the designated area before the bus parks.
At Franklin Park Conservatory, a team member directs buses to parking upon arrival, while the group entrance gives school groups a dedicated arrival point. Just mention your must-haves when you request your free school bus quote and you can choose the vehicle that fits your Columbus group.
