Most buses are 7.5 feet wide on the interior. So, to quickly get an estimate of a bus’ square footage, use the equation [number of windows] x 2.5 x 7.5. For instance, my bus has 5 windows, so 5 x 2.5 x 7.5 = 93.75 square feet.

How is bus size measured?

Since most buses have an interior length of 7.5 feet and windows are usually 2.5 feet, the number of windows will determine the estimated length. If you can multiply the number of windows by 7.5 feet and by 2.5 feet, you will get the bus’s approximate square footage.
