minibuses

Compact passenger vehicles

Minibuses are small buses, typically seating between eight and twenty-five passengers.

They serve routes where full-sized buses would be impractical or inefficient: shuttle services, school transport, tour groups.

The hotel runs a minibus to the airport every hour.

Also spelled mini-buses.
