SATSUMA, Alabama -- Satsuma City Schools officials are seeking bids from vendors to buy two 2015 school buses to bolster an aging fleet. But new buses don't come cheap: Estimates range from $65,000 to $85,000, depending on how the bus is equipped. For example, buses used to transport special education students must have air conditioning.
Something as simple as a school bus can cost $300 to $900 per day, but for the usual charter bus, which includes several accommodations, such as TVs, a bathroom, and cushioned seats, the cost can be anywhere from $600 to $2,000. The average charter bus can accommodate 45 to 85 people.
