A minibus is a perfect vehicle for transporting passengers when you need less room than a full-size bus and more space than a passenger van. While mini school buses have a similar appearance and structure to standard-size buses, they are more compact and provide added maneuverability. Additionally, mini school buses offer much more efficient fuel mileage, a critical factor if you’re consistently transporting a smaller group of passengers.
At Rohrer Bus, we offer an extensive line of new and used mini school buses from some of the most recognized brands in the industry. Explore our inventory for the styles, features and amenities best suited for your organization. Our selection of buses can provide a better experience for your customers while increasing your operation’s productivity and efficiency.

Benefits of Short School Buses
Depending on the type of vehicle you’re comparing them to, mini school buses have unique advantages. When comparing a short bus to a large transit bus, the comfort factors might be similar, but the costs to operate a short bus are often significantly lower. If you compare a passenger van to a short bus, the minibus usually wins out because of its higher comfort and rider satisfaction level.
Some of the primary benefits of short school buses include:
- Lower maintenance costs: From tires to replacement parts to oil changes, mini school buses usually offer more cost savings than full-size models across the board, improving your organization’s bottom line.
- Increased maneuverability: If you’re operating a full-size transit bus, you often need to pre-plan the route to ensure the bus can navigate all tight spaces. Short buses offer high maneuverability and can fit through areas large buses can’t.
- Fewer driver qualifications needed: In some states, drivers can operate short buses without needing a commercial driver’s license.
- Safe construction: Manufacturers build mini school buses with more enhanced safety features than most standard passenger vans.
- More amenities: Minibuses also have a broader range of amenities than passenger vans, including air conditioning, wheelchair lifts, plush seats, Wi-Fi and more.
