With Minibus Lite, any staff with an ordinary car driving licence can drive an affordable and versatile lightweight 17-seater minibus. Gaining a D1 licence is expensive and inconvenient, involving formal examinations. Whereas, for Minibus Lite, the driver just needs the MiDAS training course, which we can organise, ensuring they are skilled and confident.
Minibus Lite is the perfect transport solution for many schools, academies, colleges and universities, opening up your logistics options. The relevant teacher or member of staff can drive their class or group to an event or visit – this is more convenient plus it builds teacher-pupil relationships.
