At Thomas Built Buses, passenger safety is our number one priority. Every bus they manufacture meets or exceeds all Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards for school buses. Designed into the Minotour are a number of innovative safety features, including:
- Meets or exceeds FMVSS/CMVSS
- Built like a full-size school bus
- Safety cage body construction with one-piece skirt-to-skirt roof bows
- Two internal roof crash rails for rollover protection
- Daytime running lights
- Four-wheel anti-lock brakes
- 42" x 47" glass-paneled rear emergency door
The Minotour is so strong and durable that they parked their 18,000-pound Type D bus on its roof-without extra reinforcement. Its steel cage construction and one-piece, skirt-to-skirt steel rafter held up so well that all its windows and doors still opened easily without binding.
