A '''short bus''' is a [[school bus]] that is, as the name implies, shorter than a normal sized school bus. The buses are generally the standard eight feet wide and average twenty-four feet in length. They are roughly the same size as a [[van]] or [[minibus]], and some are in fact built onto the modified [[chassis]] and/or [[Bodywork|body]] of a stock regular passenger van or truck by a bus manufacturer <ref>{{cite web | url=http://ntl.bts.gov/DOCS/STV.html | title=Handbook For Purchasing a Small Transit Vehicle | publisher = Pennsylvania Department of Transportation, Bureau of Public Transportation |date=October 1998}}</ref>. The buses are capable of carrying eight to twenty children, as opposed to as many as 77 on a normal sized bus. Some have automated elevator lifts to safely lift [[wheelchair]]-using children into the bus without the use of stairs.

Redirect to:

  • From other capitalisation: This is a redirect from a title with another method of capitalisation. It leads to the title in accordance with the Wikipedia naming conventions for capitalisation, or it leads to a title that is associated in some way with the conventional capitalisation of this redirect title. This may help writing, searching and international language issues.
    • If this redirect is an incorrect capitalisation, then {{R from miscapitalisation}} should be used instead, and pages that use this link should be updated to link directly to the target. Miscapitalisations can be tagged in any namespace.
    • Use this rcat to tag only mainspace redirects; when other capitalisations are in other namespaces, use {{R from modification}} instead.
