Activity Buses - Minotour

Minotour

Thomas Built has constructed the Minotour® activity bus with all the peace-of-mind features that come standard in our larger buses, like the one-piece skirt-to-skirt roof bows and the 12-guage steel wrap-around bumper. The Minotour meets or exceeds all FMVSS and CMVSS for school buses, making it significantly safer than a typical 15-passenger van. It’s also easy to drive and maneuver, while providing outstanding interior roominess. In addition, the Minotour can be configured with a wide range of optional features, from wheelchair lifts to overhead racks.
