A minibus is also called a minicoach and a microbus. Its seating capacity ranges from 8 to 30.
A midibus is a bit larger than the minibus, but smaller than a full-size bus. Apart from personal or company use like going on a group tour or excursion, minibuses are used as a public transport.
Some countries use this kind of vehicle as airport buses or shared taxis. In Australia, the term van could mean a minibus, minivan, or panel van. In the UK, they use the term people mover instead of passenger van. In Japan, vans can refer to full-fledged station wagons and hatchbacks. In the US, the term van could also mean a semi-trailer or a box-shaped trailer.
Full-size vans are being used as commuter vans in urban areas since 1971. A step van is quite popular in North America because commuters can easily step in and out of the vehicle.
