Two axles:
- Small school buses, typically used for transporting students within a smaller geographic area, may have two axles. These buses are typically smaller in size and have a lower passenger capacity compared to larger school buses.
Three axles:
- Medium-sized school buses often have three axles. This configuration provides increased stability and weight distribution for larger buses with higher passenger capacities. The third axle is typically located at the rear of the bus and helps support the additional weight of the passengers and cargo.
Four axles:
- Larger school buses, particularly those used for long-distance trips or transporting large groups of students, often have four axles. This configuration provides even greater stability and weight distribution for the heaviest buses. The fourth axle is typically located in the middle of the bus, between the front and rear axles.
It's important to note that axle configurations may also vary based on specific country or regional regulations, as well as the specific design preferences of different school bus manufacturers.
