More About 18 Passenger Minibuses
The 18-passenger minibus is the sweet spot for groups that have outgrown a Sprinter van but don't need a full-size 56-passenger motorcoach. In Chico, that matters more than people realize. These vehicles are compact enough to navigate the one-way grid downtown near Broadway and Second Street, pull cleanly into the parking structure off Salem Street, and make the approach to Chico State's campus map on West Sacramento Avenue without the oversized-vehicle headaches that come with a full coach.
You'll find center aisles, enough roof clearance to walk to your seat, and a climate-controlled cabin so nobody arrives uncomfortable after the summer heat on Highway 32.
