客车和面包车

Explanation:
Without the context, it is hard to say which translations offered here are the best. But I live in the US and drive a van, more exactly a mini-van. Most parents here drive their kids to school in such mini-van but we always call them vans. I think 面包车 is pretty close since this can refer to most vans that can be used to carry either goods or people. And I think 面包车 in Chinese, especially used in the sourthern part of China, is almost the exact equivalent to the van we use here.
