You might want to look at Cradlepoint - http://www.cradlepoint.com/. Never used one on a bus be we use them in a few remote classrooms where we cannot setup anything long term. Gives you the option to have more than 5 users and multiple vendors by just swapping out the USB modem.

Our athletics department would like to outfit their bus for long trips to games. My first thought was to get enough mobile hotspots (perhaps from various vendors) to cover the number of users at 5 users each (the typical limit). I could also try a 4G USB modem bridged across a small PC to share that link. For best signal, I imagine that an antenna on the roof would be best. Has anyone done this before?
