Twenty-eight people is a serious group. It is the size of a large department outing, an extended family reunion with cousins, or a bridal party plus parents plus the friends who made the short list. Moving a group this size through San Diego without professional transportation means at least seven cars, seven parking spots, seven GPS routes, and the near certainty that at least two of those cars will end up at the wrong entrance. The 28 Passenger Coach Bus from San Diego Party Ride consolidates all of that into one vehicle and one professional driver.
The interior is spacious and organized. Twenty-eight forward-facing seats with headrests, armrests, and real legroom fill the cabin in neat rows along a wide center aisle. Overhead storage bins hold personal items, and the under-bus luggage bay handles suitcases, equipment, or event supplies. Climate control keeps the temperature consistent whether your route runs through inland heat or coastal breezes. Large tinted windows provide scenic views and UV protection.
All-inclusive pricing means your quote from San Diego Party Ride covers the vehicle, professional driver, fuel, insurance, taxes, and gratuity. There are no hidden fees, no fuel surcharges, and no post-trip invoices. One transparent price, agreed upon before you board.

What to Expect
Boarding the 28 Passenger Coach Bus is a smooth process. The wide entry steps and center aisle let passengers find their seats quickly, and the overhead bins mean bags and jackets are stowed before the bus even pulls out. Once rolling, the cabin is quiet enough for normal conversation, comfortable enough for a ninety-minute ride to Temecula wine country, and cool enough — courtesy of the climate control — that nobody is fanning themselves with a program.
The professional driver brings a level of service that transforms the trip. Instead of twenty-eight people independently navigating to a venue, your group arrives together, on time, at the right entrance. The driver handles parking, loading zone logistics, and route adjustments for construction or event traffic. For groups visiting San Diego from out of state, this local expertise is invaluable — it turns a potentially stressful travel day into a relaxed, enjoyable experience.
Best Events for the 28 Passenger Coach Bus
The 28 Passenger Coach Bus is a favorite for corporate events that fall between a small team outing and a full company gathering. A department of twenty-eight heading to a leadership retreat in Carlsbad, a client appreciation dinner at a La Jolla restaurant, or a team-building afternoon at Belmont Park — these events benefit from keeping the group together on a comfortable, professional vehicle with the PA system available for logistics or icebreakers.
Outside the corporate world, this bus serves wedding transportation beautifully. Twenty-eight seats cover a full wedding party, immediate family from both sides, and key friends, making it the go-to for shuttling the inner circle between a Balboa Park ceremony, a sunset photo stop at Sunset Cliffs, and a reception in the Gaslamp Quarter. Religious retreat groups, senior center day trips, and nonprofit volunteer outings also fit naturally — any group of twenty-eight that wants to travel together, comfortably, with everything included in one price.

Amenities & Features
Every one of the twenty-eight seats is a forward-facing, individually cushioned seat with a padded headrest and dual armrests. The legroom between rows exceeds standard transit bus spacing, giving passengers enough room to sit comfortably without their knees touching the seat ahead. Overhead storage bins on both sides of the cabin provide organized space for personal items, and the under-bus luggage compartment is deep enough for full-size roller bags, sports gear, and event equipment.
The dual-zone climate control system pushes conditioned air through overhead vents at every row, ensuring consistent comfort from front to back. The PA system with cabin-wide speakers is clear and feedback-free, making it useful for tour narration, wedding timeline announcements, or corporate briefings. USB ports at select seats keep phones and tablets charged. Bring sealed beverages — plastic cups are required, and glass is not allowed on board. Food is not permitted, but your driver will happily stop at any restaurant, food truck, or drive-through along the route for your group.

How It Compares
The 28 Passenger Coach Bus offers meaningful additional capacity over the 24 and 26 Passenger models. For groups with a headcount near twenty-eight, this bus avoids the uncomfortable choice between leaving people behind or booking a second vehicle. At the same time, it remains smaller and more affordable per person than the 30, 32, and 34 Passenger coaches, making it the right choice for groups that need exactly this capacity.
Relative to party buses of similar size, the coach bus serves a distinctly different purpose. A 30 Passenger Party Bus features a dance floor, LED lighting, and wrap-around seating designed for celebrations where the ride is the attraction. The 28 Passenger Coach Bus features individual forward-facing seats, luggage space, and a quiet cabin designed for groups that want comfortable, practical transportation to their destination. Corporate events, airport transfers, and wedding shuttles almost always call for the coach bus experience, and the all-inclusive pricing — covering driver, fuel, insurance, taxes, and gratuity — keeps budgeting simple.
Planning Tips
Book the 28 Passenger Coach Bus at least three weeks before your event, and earlier for peak periods including summer weekends, holiday season, and major San Diego events like Comic-Con and the Del Mar races. Weekend and evening rentals require a four-hour minimum. Non-peak bookings on Sundays and weekday daytime have a three-hour minimum. Prom season Saturdays in March through May carry a six-hour minimum. Call (619) 354-1420 for availability and a free all-inclusive quote.
For the smoothest experience, consolidate your group at a single pickup location whenever possible. A hotel lobby, office parking lot, or church entrance makes boarding efficient and gets your rental time working for you instead of being spent on additional stops. Decorations are welcome for celebrations — balloons, streamers, signs, and banners add a festive touch. Confetti, glitter, and tape on leather surfaces are not permitted. Pets require advance approval. Groups with both minors and adults consuming alcohol must include a parent or legal guardian on board for the full duration.
