Minibus

A small bus designed to carry fewer passengers than a full-size bus, commonly used for group transport and local services.

Bus: A road vehicle designed to carry many passengers, usually along a fixed route or for group travel. Minibuses are smaller members of this broad passenger-vehicle category.
Demand-responsive transport: Public transport whose routes or schedules adjust to passenger requests. Minibuses can serve dispersed trips that fixed-route buses cannot efficiently cover.
Volkswagen Type 2: A Volkswagen van introduced in 1950 and produced in numerous passenger and commercial forms. Its passenger versions became influential templates for compact group transport.
Full-size bus: A large passenger road vehicle built to carry substantially more people than a minibus. Its greater capacity is the main alternative when passenger demand is high.
Passenger van: A van configured with seats and windows to transport several passengers. Passenger vans can resemble minibuses but often have lower capacity and different construction.
Paratransit: Transport services designed to complement fixed-route public transit, often for people unable to use it independently. Accessible minibuses commonly provide door-to-door paratransit trips.
Volkswagen Microbus: A passenger-oriented version of the Volkswagen Type 2 van, known for its distinctive body and flexible seating. The Microbus is a prominent example of a van-based vehicle used like a small bus.
Midibus: A bus intermediate in size and passenger capacity between a minibus and a full-size bus. The midibus occupies the size category directly above many minibuses.
Vehicle seating capacity: The number of people a vehicle is designed or legally permitted to carry. Capacity is the key practical distinction between minibuses and larger buses.
School bus: A vehicle designed to transport students to and from educational institutions. Minibuses often perform school transport where student numbers or roads do not suit full-size buses.
