A midibus is a classification of single-decker buses which are identified as neither being minibuses or full size buses, and can be anywhere between 8 metres (26 ft 3 in) and 11 metres (36 ft 1 in) long. While used in many parts of the world, the midibus is perhaps most common in the United Kingdom, where operators have found them more economical, and to have a sufficient number of seats compared to full size single-decker buses. Midibuses are often designed to be light weight to save on diesel fuel (e.g. smaller wheels than on larger buses), making them not as durable as heavier ''full size'' buses. Some midibuses, such as the Scania OmniTown, are heavier and therefore more durable. An early unsuccessful attempt at a purpose built midibus was the Bedford JJL.
