The Mini-Bus is a miniature vehicle which resembles the bus used in the game. It can only fit 1 player, but drives faster than the bus. The Mini-Bus costs 175 R$ (Varies based on region) to obtain.

The Mini-Bus is a common gamepass, and you can start various activites with it like racing against others.

It is also available for free as a starting item if you were to join throughout Bus Simulator's 6th Birthday, but will be revoked once it ends if you haven't bought the gamepass yet.

You can also customize it further in the Cafe Event, where you'll be able to purchase the E-Bus design for only 45 Passenger Reputation from Tazer. The Mini-Bus has a Navy Blue (RGB 33, 84, 185) color for the default body paint.
On the sides of the bus, there are two large windows, followed by vents behind them. At the back of the bus, there are two antennas which tilt when turning, and wobble at speed.
The Mini-Bus has headlights up front that are covered by a grill, with a single red accent.

People that have the Contributer and above rank in-game will get sparkles on their Mini-Bus and also obtain one for free if they haven't bought it.

The previous Mini-Bus design was much simpler, and had a design closer to the older Bus design, with fake windows and a couple of avatars in them. The E-Bus has a futuristic-like appearance, that resembles a bit of a truck. On the front of the bus, it was two cricle headlights, as well as two slanted headlight lines on the bottom, and a windshield on top.
On the sides, it has two mini doors on it, and a tiny red line next to it on both sides, and has no walls beyond the doors.
The back has two antennas which tilt when turning, and wobble at speed, and has four tiny circular headlights, as well as a license plate slot, with nothing inside it, and a tilted red line, that roes outwards.

There's additional space behind the drivers seat, but has nothing on the inside. If you're looking for how to drive the Mini-Bus in VR, check out the VR page linked here.
