Image description
The image shows a vehicle larger than a personal car and smaller than a coach, viewed from side, facing to the left.
The minibus is a square car, being designed for long journeys, but it is not as equipped in facilities for a high level of comfort, as in the case of a coach.
It also does not have a large number of seats, with limited interior space, only for sixteen to twenty two passengers and some luggage.
The outside shell of the car, also called the car body, is represented in full relief.
The two pairs of wheels at the bottom, the rear, as well as the front pair, are highlighted by embossed circles with a middle blank spot.
The minibus has a single passenger door, in the center, followed by another one in the front, next to the driver, both of them rendered with a vertical rectangle, outlined in blank.
The side window and the windscreen, or the front window, are marked with three blank rectangles, aligned in the middle.
The headlights in front of the car, to left, and the rear lights at the back of the car, to right, are marked with rounded, small and blank shapes.
In the left corner, there is a man standing, thus positioned to facilitate the comparison of the dimensions of the vehicle to the height of an adult.
Additional information
The minibus is a passenger carrying motor vehicle, which as a capacity is located between the private car and the bus. It has a seating capacity of up to 22 people, excluding the driver’s seat. The minibus is 8 meters long and 2 meters wide.
The minibus is a short vehicle, unsuitable for the upright position during transport. It has the advantage of offering more comfort and more space to the passengers than the private car, which makes the longer route less stressful.
Minibuses have the same technical platforms as cargo vans. The minibus has a public role and can be used in cities as a means of transport for persons, which transits by fixed route, ensuring the transport of people to airports. In addition, the minibus can be used for public services, without a preset route and fixed schedule, by local authorities, hospitals or foundations.
Considered to be the safest means of transport on the road, the minibus is often used for tourism purposes, for family trips and group trips. The minibus can also provide transportation for employees, students and athletes.
Some countries may require an additional class of driver’s licence over a normal private car licence. The need for such a licence may depend on the vehicle weight or size, the seating capacity, the driver age, the additional training.
