>From Hong Kong's situation, I don't think it is wise to simply use capacity to differentiate between minibus and regular bus. Ithe city, minibus and regular buses are generally two different types of service, operated by different companies in different mode and according to different rules. Some bus companies have adopted exactly the same model of vehicle as minibus companies for rural bus routes, but they still differentiate against each others in term of which network they belongs to, boarding/aligning points, seat arrangement inside vehicle cabin, on-board facilities, and other different details. I think it'd thus be more appropriate to differentiate between minibus and regular bus services using information of which brand or network those routes belongs, instead of the actual capacity onboard of each buses serving those routes.
