minibus
Compact passenger vehicle
A minibus is a small bus, typically seating between eight and twenty passengers—larger than a van but smaller than a full-sized coach.
Minibuses serve airports, hotels, schools, and tour groups: The hotel runs a minibus to the train station.
In British usage, minibus often describes vehicles used for group transport by churches, sports teams, and community organizations.
