The Crafter is a European van with standing height, individual seats and a proper luggage area behind the passengers. It carries nine to twelve people with their bags in one vehicle, and it rides noticeably better on highways than a tempo traveller.
Family groups and small tour parties book it when they want to stay together without the feel of a basic shuttle. The wide sliding door and step make boarding easy, including for older travellers.
Honest limitation: it is large and less nimble in old city lanes. In those areas it parks at the edge and the group walks in or takes a rickshaw.
