More About The 18 Passenger Party Bus
The 18-passenger party bus is the go-to vehicle for mid-size groups who want the full party bus experience without booking a half-empty 40-seater. It seats up to 18 comfortably with perimeter seating along the interior walls — so everyone faces each other instead of staring at the back of someone's head. The footprint is compact enough to navigate Berkeley's tighter neighborhood streets near Telegraph Avenue and the Elmwood District, yet roomy enough to feel like a genuine celebration on the way to the Greek Theatre or up to Napa.
For bachelorette groups, birthday groups, or tailgate squads heading to a Cal Bears game at California Memorial Stadium, this is frequently the first vehicle people reach for. It's the right size for a lot of Berkeley trips.
