Default Re: VW bay-window transporter

Everybody likes to talk about the "VW Microbus" most i've seen in the usa seemed to be the "2+5 layout" of astationwagon or minivan, but higher seating versions were made like 9 passenger
I've been wondering what are real meanings for Microbus / Minibus / Midibus / Bus / Megabus?

Microbus seems to be 7-12 passengers
Minibus seems to be 12-30 passengers 30 feet and below
Midibus 12-50 passengers and 30-40 feet long
Bus 36-50 feet long
Articulated bus 90-120 passengers and 59 feet long
Bi-Articulated bus 200 passengers and 82 feet long

But why do you care about bus classifications?


More german boxes?


Rico of Spain - "Rico Bus" Mercedes Benz o-305. Line-controlled remote, steering is cable, motor, lights, sounds are electric. Body was available in Silver, Blue, Yellow, Red, White. Atleast 3 interior color combos. The real bus had 1969-1988 production. The model is some time 1970-84?

Features: Driver seat + 27 passenger seats + standing room and 4 poles. So it should be able to help get some figures to work

Got a Micro-bus, and a Bus. For more of a Mini-bus,...
Schuco made some versions of a 1/16 scale 1982 Mercedes 408 ''T2" "Duseldorf Transporter". Disassembly of them is just WEIRD, body to chassis screws have the heads inside the body
Also several other insteresting things come up with searching "Schuco Servo"

Bruder now has a full windowed 9 passenger MB Sprinter van with seats

Tamiya Lunchbox hardbody could be stretched into a 15 passenger bus, or build it like a Cab&Chassis cutaway into a Shuttlebus
