56 Passenger Charter Bus

Charter Bus Company Linden offers one of the largest and most diverse fleets of 56-passenger charter buses in the region, featuring vehicles from all the top manufacturers in the industry. Our lineup includes the MCI J4500 and D4500—widely regarded as the gold standard for comfort, reliability, and modern styling—as well as the Prevost H3-45, which is favored by professional sports teams and touring entertainers for its smooth ride and spacious interior. We also run Van Hool CX45 coaches, known for their European design and advanced safety features, and the TEMSA TS45, a versatile mid-size option with excellent fuel efficiency. Every model in our fleet comes with a full package of standard amenities, including reclining seats, climate control, onboard restrooms, video monitors, Wi-Fi, and plenty of storage space both inside the cabin and below the floor. If you need something even bigger, we can also provide double-decker coaches with up to 81 seats—just ask your reservation specialist about availability when you call.

Our 56-passenger charter buses are available in a range of exterior colors to suit any type of event or branding requirement, including black, white, silver, gray, blue, red, navy, and yellow. We can also provide custom-finished buses in specialty colors upon request, and full vinyl wraps are available for groups that want to display corporate logos, school colors, or event-specific graphics on the side of the coach. Interior color schemes include standard fabric upholstery in neutral tones, upgraded leatherette seating in black or gray, and optional accent panels in coordinating colors. No matter what look you’re going for, we have a bus that will match your style and make a great impression when it arrives at your next event.

Every 56-passenger charter bus in our fleet comes with a full package of standard amenities designed to keep passengers comfortable, connected, and entertained on trips of any length. Seating features include high-back reclining seats with optional fabric or leatherette upholstery, fold-down armrests, adjustable headrests, and integrated tray tables. Climate control is managed by a powerful HVAC system with individual vents above each row, and overhead parcel racks provide convenient storage for backpacks and carry-on items. Entertainment options include multiple flat-screen video monitors mounted throughout the cabin, a DVD player, and a sound system that supports both wired and wireless audio inputs. Connectivity features include onboard Wi-Fi, 110V power outlets at every seat, USB charging ports, and a PA microphone for announcements. Additional amenities include a full-size restroom located at the rear of the coach, large underfloor luggage compartments, and optional upgrades such as wood-look flooring, color-changing LED lighting, and custom branding or graphics on the exterior of the bus.

Our 56-passenger charter buses are the largest single-level vehicles in the Charter Bus Company Linden fleet, offering maximum seating capacity, extensive luggage storage, and the most comprehensive set of onboard amenities available. Compared to smaller options like minibuses, sprinter vans, or party buses, the 56-passenger coach provides superior comfort for long-distance travel, including features such as reclining seats, flat-screen video monitors, Wi-Fi, power outlets, and a full-size restroom at the rear of the cabin. While a minibus might be easier to maneuver in tight urban environments and is ideal for short local shuttles, only a full-size charter bus can accommodate large groups—such as sports teams, school classes, or corporate event attendees—on a single vehicle. This makes the 56-passenger charter bus the best choice for any group that needs to move a lot of people efficiently, affordably, and without sacrificing comfort. If you’re not sure which size is right for your next trip, our team can help you compare options and find the perfect fit.

We recommend booking your 56-passenger charter bus at least three to six months in advance to ensure the best availability and pricing, especially if your trip falls during a busy travel season or coincides with a major local event. In Linden and the surrounding region, demand for charter buses tends to spike around spring and fall due to school field trips, athletic tournaments, and corporate events, as well as during the summer wedding season and around major sporting events at venues like MetLife Stadium and Prudential Center. If you’re planning a trip during one of these peak periods, securing your reservation early will give you the widest selection of vehicles and help you lock in a lower rate before prices go up. Last-minute bookings are possible, but availability may be limited and you could end up paying more—so it’s always best to plan ahead if you can. Once you have your dates and headcount finalized, give us a call and we’ll get you a fast, no-obligation quote right over the phone.
