At Thomas Built Buses, our mission is to provide transportation options that enable you to

operate more efficiently. Our Minotour® bus offers flexibility without sacrificing safety or

features. It truly is a big bus in a compact package – with safety cage body construction,

one piece skirt-to-skirt roof bows and internal roof crash rails for rollover protection. As a

result, this rugged bus meets all Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards for school buses.

The Minotour also offers a variety of benefits – from ergonomic driver controls and a

Saf-T-Vue window to seating options for up to 30 passengers and easy serviceability. It can

be equipped with a wheelchair lift, various seat options and flexible track seating. Put simply,

the Thomas Minotour offers a lot of bus in an efficiently designed package. And that’s huge.
