Midibus A midibus is a classification of single-decker minibuses which are generally larger than a traditional minibus but smaller than a full-size single decker and can be anywhere between and long. While used in many parts of the world , the midibus is perhaps most common in the United Kingdom , where operators have found them more economical , and to have a sufficient number of seats compared to full size single-decker buses . Midibuses are often designed to be lightweight to save on diesel fuel , making them not as durable as heavier 'full size' buses. Some midibuses, such as the Scania OmniTown , are heavier and therefore more durable. In some places such as Hong Kong , some bus routes have to be served by midibuses due to the winding roads along such routes.The term "midibus" is not in common use in the United States, such smaller and lighter-duty buses not being employed in public transit roles there except in some very specialized instances. For example, Muni in San Francisco operates both and versions of the Orion VII transit bus to serve routes that include some of the steeper and curvier hills. In charter / tour roles, there is indeed a gap between the minibus and the touring coach. Several shuttle bus companies such as Goshen Coaches and Crystal have manufactured rear-engined vehicles that have 30–35 seats, but no generic term has ever been applied to them. They are usually lumped together with their smaller "minibus" brethren and called "minibus", or "shuttle bus". The only other alternative was to import a "short" version of European touring coaches, known often as "baby coaches", around long and equipped with some 30–32 seats. In the 2000s, some manufacturers introduced mid-sized bus models based on large truck frames.Models Agrale MT12 Autosan Sancity 9 LE Autosan Sancity 10LF - Albion Nimbus - from 1955–65 Bedford VAS - From 1961-87 Bedford JJL - an early unsuccessful attempt at a purpose built midibus 1975-81 Bristol SU - 1960-6 Chance Coach/Optima Opus Daewoo BS090 Royal-Midi Daewoo BC095 Dennis Domino Dennis Dart Dennis/Transbus/Alexander Dennis Dart SLF Alexander Dennis Enviro200 Dart - also manufactured and marketed in North America by New Flyer Industries as the New Flyer MiDi ElDorado EZ Rider II MAX/BRT FAP A-402 Grande West Vicinity Hino Melpha Hino Rainbow Heuliez GX117 Heuliez GX127 Hyundai Aero Town Hyundai Global 900 Hyundai GreenCity Mercedes-Benz Trekka Ikarus 405 Ikarus E91 Ikarbus ik-107 Irisbus Citelis 10 Isuzu Erga Mio Isuzu Gala Mio Isuzu Journey-K Isuzu Novo Isuzu Turquoise Iveco EuroMidi Kravtex Credo EN9,5 Leyland Swift MAN 10.xxx HOCL/MAN 11.xxx HOCL MAN 12.xxx HOCL/MAN 12.xxx HOCL-NL MAN 13.xxx HOCL MAN 14.xxx HOCL/MAN 14.xxx HOCL-NL MAN Lion's City M MAZ-206 MAZ-256 MCW Metrorider Marshall Minibus Mercedes-Benz O520 Cito Mercedes-Benz O530K Mercedes-Benz OH1115LSB Mitsubishi Fuso Aero Midi MJ/MK/Aero Midi-S New Flyer Industries D30LF / 35LF Neoplan Centroliner Nissan Diesel Space Runner JP Nissan Diesel Space Runner RM Nissan Diesel RB80 Optare Excel Optare MetroRider Optare Solo Optare Solo SR Optare Versa Otokar Navigo/Sultan PAZ-3237 PAZ-4230 Scania OmniTown SOR CN 8.5 Temsa Prestij Thaco TB94CT Thaco TB79CT Thaco TB89CT Thaco TB82S/92S VDL SB120 VDL SB180 Volkswagen Volksbus Volvo B6/B6LE Volvo B6BLE Wright StreetLite Ashok Leyland Jan Bus Midi
