Thomas Built Type A 'Minotour'
“Small, but Mighty”
We’ve packed all of the safety features and rugged engineering of a bigger bus into the Minotour. Our Type A’s unique, steel-cage body is built onto a GM or Ford Chassis. Thomas wanted the Minotour to be the best Type A bus on the road, but they also wanted it to be the most innovative. This bus was designed with our customers in mind. It’s not only safe but easy to maintain, comfortable to drive and durable enough to withstand the rigors of everyday use.
What is the Minotour Capable of?

The Minotour provides spacious seating for up to 30 passengers. With optional track seating, the floor plan can easily be adapted to suit your changing needs. Passenger seats can be removed quickly to allow for additional wheelchair securements.
