24-Seat Tour Bus vs 28-Seat Tour Bus Comparison

24-seat tour bus and 28-seat tour bus are representative medium-sized tour bus models that hold an important position in the Hong Kong market. These two vehicle types are suitable for medium-sized group outings — more flexible than large tour buses while accommodating more passengers than minibuses.

24-Seat Tour Bus Features

The 24-seat tour bus uses a 2+2 seating design with 4 seats per row across 6 rows. The cabin space is moderate, allowing passengers to enjoy ample legroom. The 24-seat tour bus is particularly suitable for the following activities:

  • Primary and secondary school inter-school activities and outdoor learning
  • Church fellowship activities and retreats
  • Medium-sized company team building activities
  • Family gatherings and outings with relatives and friends
  • Hotel shuttle services

28-Seat Tour Bus Features

The 28-seat tour bus is one of the most common medium-sized tour buses in the Hong Kong market. Compared to the 24-seat tour bus, the 28-seat tour bus has approximately 4 more seats, better accommodating slightly larger group needs. Many companies choose 28-seat tour buses for employee transfers or event transportation, as the capacity perfectly fits a department or small team.

24-Seat vs 28-Seat Tour Bus Price Comparison

In Hong Kong, 24-seat tour bus and 28-seat tour bus rental prices are similar. Taking Flying Eagle Car Rental Company as an example, Kowloon district one-way fares start from $500, while airport round trips start from $750. For hourly services, both vehicle types start from $320 per hour, with rates from $350/hour for trips to more distant areas such as Sai Kung, Tai Po, and Tuen Mun. The choice between 24-seat tour bus and 28-seat tour bus mainly depends on the actual number of passengers and luggage requirements.

45-Seat Tour Bus Suitable Occasions

The 45-seat tour bus is the entry-level choice for large tour buses, suitable for groups of 30 to 45 people. The body is longer than the 28-seat tour bus, providing more seats and luggage space, making it the first choice for many travel agencies, schools, and businesses.

45-Seat Tour Bus Advantages

The main advantages of choosing a 45-seat tour bus include:

  • High cost-effectiveness: Compared to renting two 24-seat tour buses or 28-seat tour buses, a single 45-seat tour bus is more cost-effective
  • Spacious luggage compartment: Large luggage compartment underneath, suitable for tour groups with substantial luggage
  • Well-equipped cabin: Equipped with independent air conditioning, comfortable seats, curtains, and sound system
  • Cross-border certification: Some 45-seat tour buses hold cross-border licenses and can travel directly to mainland Chinese cities

60-Seat Tour Bus vs 65-Seat Tour Bus Analysis

For large tour groups or corporate events, 60-seat tour bus and 65-seat tour bus are the ideal choices. These extra-large tour buses can transport a large number of passengers at once, particularly suitable for activities with high attendance.

60-Seat Tour Bus Features

The 60-seat tour bus uses a 3+2 seating design with 5 seats per row, providing 60 passenger seats. The body length is approximately 12 metres, making it one of the longest single-deck tour buses permitted to operate under Hong Kong law. The 60-seat tour bus seating arrangement is compact yet comfortable, suitable for local activities that don't require carrying substantial luggage.

65-Seat Tour Bus Features

The 65-seat tour bus is the highest-capacity single-deck tour bus option on the market. Compared to the 60-seat tour bus, the 65-seat tour bus provides more seats within the same body length through optimised seat spacing. However, some 65-seat tour buses may have slightly less legroom than 60-seat tour buses, making them more suitable for shorter journeys.

How to Choose Between 60-Seat and 65-Seat Tour Bus?

When choosing between 60-seat tour bus and 65-seat tour bus, consider the following factors:

  • Number of passengers: If the group size is close to 60 people, consider a 65-seat tour bus to allow extra seats
  • Journey length: For long journeys, we recommend the 60-seat tour bus for more comfortable seating
  • Budget considerations: 60-seat tour bus and 65-seat tour bus prices are similar — choose based on actual needs
  • Route restrictions: Some narrow road sections may restrict large vehicle access — confirm in advance

60-Seat and 65-Seat Tour Bus Rental Prices

60-seat tour bus and 65-seat tour bus rental prices are similar. Taking Flying Eagle Car Rental Company as an example, Kowloon district one-way fares start from $700, with airport round trips ranging from approximately $1,050 to $1,300. Hourly services start from $380 to $500 per hour, with slightly higher rates for more distant areas such as Sai Kung, Tai Po, and Tuen Mun. Large tour groups choosing a 65-seat tour bus is more cost-effective than renting multiple smaller buses.
