Why Los Angeles groups ride with Zum
Zum has been a transportation partner to Los Angeles Unified, the country's second-largest school district, since 2022. Our North Spring Street lot sits where I-5, US-101 and I-110 meet, so a bus can reach Olvera Street and Union Station in minutes, the Exposition Park museums in about 15, and the Huntington or Kidspace in Pasadena in about 20.
Downtown trips depend on knowing the rules at each stop. At Exposition Park, buses enter from Figueroa, drop students at the South Lawn and park in the Pink and Yellow lots off Hoover Street. Dodger Stadium and Crypto.com Arena events need advance planning for oversized vehicles. Give us the itinerary and we'll plan each stop, including multi-museum days that use one bus from first drop-off to final pickup.

Los Angeles charter FAQs
How much does a charter bus cost in Los Angeles?
Cost depends on vehicle size, total trip hours, mileage and trip costs like venue parking. Request a quote with your itinerary and Zum will price the right vehicle upfront.
Where do school buses drop off and park at the Natural History Museum and California Science Center?
Buses enter Exposition Park from Figueroa Street, drop students at the South Lawn on Exposition Park Drive, then park in the Pink and Yellow lots via Hoover Street. Student lunches stay on the bus until lunchtime. Confirm Science Center details with the Science Center when you book your visit.
Can you take a school group to a Dodgers game?
Dodger Stadium is about 5 minutes from our North Spring Street lot. Oversized vehicles need advance parking passes on game days, and traffic on Sunset Boulevard, Stadium Way and the I-110 builds before first pitch. Book early and share your game time so we can plan arrival and departure.
Can we plan a multi-stop museum day in Downtown LA?
One bus can drop your group at The Broad, the Japanese American National Museum and Olvera Street, then wait or return between stops. Share your timed-entry reservations when you request a quote, and we'll plan each drop-off and pickup around them.
Who drives Zum charter buses?
Zum drivers hold a commercial driver's license with a passenger endorsement and a current DOT medical certification. They pass background checks and drug testing, and they complete state-required school transportation certification. Every trip runs on the same safety program Zum uses for Los Angeles Unified students.
