28 Passenger Coach Bus
The page to keep open when the roster closed at 28 or fewer and the two extra labeled seats on this URL would ride empty.
View Details →Use this 30-seat coach when the seated list already includes the adults — chaperones, leaders, or staff — and a 28 would leave someone in a follow car. It is the mid-size charter for a class, youth group, department, or 24–30 hotel block that needs rows and a luggage bay, not a wet bar.
Tell us the route, headcount, and event type so we can confirm whether this vehicle is the right fit.
Write the adults into the roster first. A “class of twenty-four” is not a 24-seat problem once three chaperones and two instrument cases board. Thirty labeled seats will not rescue a list that is still “about forty.” This page is for the organizer who already overflowed a 28 and is not buying empty thirties.
You can name 29 or 30 seated people today, or a 28-seat coach would leave a chaperone or a suitcase behind, and everyone still needs a row on one clock.
The list closed at 28 or fewer, bags already fit the smaller bay you described, and nobody is waiting on two more yeses.
You already have 31 or more seated names, or you want leftover rows for staff and cases, or the date can still add a second class.
Most people open this URL after a 28-seat coach left two adults standing, or after a 40-passenger quote felt oversized. Stay here only if the confirmed seated list still lives in the upper twenties.
Charter-style motorcoach in the 30-passenger class. We send current photos of the assigned coach at booking. The 26-, 28-, 30-, and 32-passenger URLs are capacity pages, not four pictures of one shell.
Rows face forward and recline, labeled to 30. Leave a few seats open (about 24–27 adults) when people will stand to reach a restroom or need elbow room on I-35. There is no dance floor.
This size exists for groups who refused a party-bus aisle for suitcases. Hotel-block bags, AUS checked luggage, and instrument cases belong in the under-floor bay. Jackets and small carry-ons can go overhead if seats stay open.
Restroom, Wi-Fi, and the exact seat map depend on the unit we assign. If thirty seats are already reserved, we will show the nearest available coach with current photos before you confirm.
Choose this vehicle
Move here when 29 or 30 seated names are already real, or when a finished 28-person list still has two bags that would sit in the aisle.
Choose 28 Passenger Coach Bus
Stay on the 28-passenger coach when the roster closed at 28 or below and you want the smaller upper-twenties coach on a simple shuttle.

Reclining rows labeled to 30. Plan 24–27 seated adults so the aisle stays open. Fill every seat only on a short shuttle with luggage already assigned to the bay.
Two seats down is the 28-passenger coach. Two seats up is the 32. Most mid-size charter decisions end there. A 40 because the number “feels safer” is a different problem.
If the class list was 26 and two adults were added late, stop shopping the 28-passenger page. Those two adults are why this URL exists.
Comfort comes from leaving a few of the thirty rows open. Use the 32 only when 31 or 32 names are already on paper.
Open the 40-passenger coach when two groups merged or the thirties are still adding names. A finished 30-person shuttle does not need that cabin.
Wi-Fi, restroom, and the exact row map are confirmed on the assigned unit before you finalize.
Send the route, timing, and headcount and we can confirm whether this vehicle makes sense for your trip.
School and church organizers often land here because a class or youth list plus adults fits the mid-to-upper twenties. We do not publish a standard seatbelt or CDL packet here. Send the field-trip paperwork with the quote so we can confirm what the reserved coach and driver documents can support.
Wedding and reunion coordinators pick this coach when one hotel drive can load a 24–30 guest block and hide the bags. It only works as a written loop — lobby, venue, return — not a scatter of Airbnbs.
Use the hotel lobby or a lot the venue already approved. Hunting four suburban addresses will miss the processional window.
We can write a second hotel load into the same reservation. Guests stay in rows, not standing with drinks as they would on the 30-passenger party bus.
Barns, downtown hotels, and park sites disagree about coach length. Paste the address and any “no bus” email so we can answer in the quote.
Add every adult to the student or guest list before you open the 40-passenger page.
Stage the group at one school lot, hotel drive, or venue curb — not four suburban doors.
Write the AUS terminal, hotel, or Gruene Hall address on the form so curb rules are in the quote.
Switch to the 30-passenger party bus only when the ride itself is the event and bags stay light.
A 26–30 person arrival with checked bags is a charter problem, not a ride-app pile under the rental-car facility. The same seated cabin is how a group rides I-35 to Gruene Hall without turning the evening into a party-bus crawl.
The Barbara Jordan Terminal page sends rideshare and taxi pickup under the Consolidated Rental Car Facility, north of the Red Garage. The cell-phone lot at 2901 Spirit of Texas Drive is for private cars — not a 30-seat staging plan.
Do not ask the coach to idle while half the group is still at carousels. We put the flight window and an “everyone is together” call on the quote so the bay opens once.
Gruene Hall, 1281 Gruene Road in New Braunfels, was built in 1878 and describes itself as Texas’ oldest continually operating dance hall. Downtown Austin to that curb is about 50 minutes on I-35 in light traffic — a planning range only.
A 24–30 guest hotel block meets once, rides to the ceremony or reception, and returns on hours written in the quote. Seats, not a celebration cabin.
Related event guide →Hold the group at baggage claim. We do not meet you on the Red Garage rideshare tram. The coach loads the bay at the charter staging we confirm for that flight window.

Related event guide →The 30-passenger party bus is the only other vehicle on this site that shares the number 30. Same headcount, opposite cabin. Book the party bus when lights and a wet bar are part of the night and luggage is light. Book this coach when students, grandparents, clients, or checked luggage will board, or when the stop is a hotel, AUS, or a dance hall with a printed door time.

Use these event guides when a 26–30 seated list needs timing, pickup notes, and a stop order — not when you are shopping a celebration cabin.
A 24–30 guest hotel block that needs rows and a return clock. After-party lighting belongs on the 30-passenger party bus page.
✈️AUS group arrivals with checked bags in the bay. We will not quote a Red Garage rideshare-tram meeting point.
🚌Highway hours and driver rest written for a seated mid-size coach — not a downtown stop list.
💼One department, including presenters, on one manifest to an office, hotel, or offsite. Add staff to the seated number.
⛪Youth or congregation shuttles where leaders sit with the group and cases ride below the floor.
👨👩👧👦Several households leaving one hotel for dinner or a day trip when eight separate cars would lose the last pickup.
