  • Vehicle Size & Type: Larger buses with more amenities cost more than basic minibuses.
  • Number of Passengers: You pay for the entire vehicle, not per seat—fill every seat to lower the cost per person.
  • Time of Year: Peak demand (April–June) drives up prices due to graduations, weddings, and school trips.
  • Itinerary Details: Multiple stops, layovers, or deadhead miles (when the bus travels empty) add to the total cost.
