Minibus

A minibus, microbus, minicoach, or short bus is a passenger-carrying motor vehicle that is designed to carry more people than a multi-purpose vehicle or minivan, but fewer people than a full-size bus. In the United Kingdom, the word "minibus" is used to describe any full-sized passenger-carrying van or panel truck. Minibuses have a seating capacity of between 12 and 30.

Larger minibuses may be called midibuses.
Minibuses are usually front-engine vehicles with step-in access, though low-floor designs are especially common in Japan.
