Built to Keep Your Child Safe
There’s nothing more important than safety when it comes to busing children. Our childcare buses meet or exceed the necessary standards you’d expect in a school bus to maximize safety and comfort for children of all ages.
We understand not every organization has the same needs, which is why we offer a versatile line of childcare buses for larger or smaller groups. No matter the size, every one of our childcare buses is safe, fuel-efficient, and reliable!
Minotour® – Childcare Bus (Type A)
Safety and comfort are never negotiable when you’re transporting children. That’s why the compact Minotour® is equipped with all the peace-of-mind features that come standard in larger buses, like the one-piece skirt-to-skirt roof bows and the 12-gauge steel wrap-around bumper. While safety comes standard in every Minotour®, an impressive list of features can be customized to best serve you and your passengers. Since 1936, Thomas Built Buses has been building safe buses to meet the needs of passengers, drivers, and the community. With one of the most extensive dealer networks in the industry, nearby support also comes standard.
