SOR BN 8,5 is a model of a partly low-floor minibus manufactured by Czech company SOR Libchavy. The bus is designed for urban transport and deployed on lines where sufficient vehicles with a smaller capacity are needed due to the cramped conditions of the road infrastructure. It is suitable for service lines to medical and sanitary facilities and offices.
