A '''minibus''', '''microbus''', or '''minicoach''' is a passenger-carrying [[motor vehicle]] that is designed to carry more people than a [[minivan|multi-purpose vehicle or minivan]], but fewer people than a [[bus|full-size bus]]. In the [[United Kingdom]], the word "minibus" is used to describe any full-sized passenger-carrying [[van]] or [[panel truck]]. Minibuses have a [[seating capacity]] of between 12 and 30. Larger minibuses may be called [[midibus]]es. Minibuses are typically front-engine step-in vehicles, although [[low floor]] minibuses are particularly common in Japan.<ref>{{cite journal |title=Vehicle Accessibility in Japan Today and the Outlook for the Future |last1=Akiyama |first1=Tetsuo |last2=Wahira |first2=Yoshihiro |last3=Kamata |first3=Minoru |last4=Fujii |first4=Naoto |date=2001 |journal=IATSS Research |volume=25 |pages=42–50 |doi=10.1016/S0386-1112(14)60005-4 |doi-access=free }}</ref>
