rides in the "marshrutka"
public transport in a Russian metropolis - there are synonym: marshrutka . With marshrutka the little yellow mini buses called the masses mill around in the city and carry passengers. The price is independent of the duration - 11 rubles, about 40 cents. A trip to the marshrutka, depending on the mood - a great nuisance, or an experience!
The Marschrutkafahrer typically comes from one of the Caucasus republics such as Dagestan. He is a real go-getter, a man who whistles at all. Also on the traffic rules, and that he transported people and not hay. Once his aim, he gives everything and can not be stopped, either from the red light, columns of standing still .. Must be, he makes his minivan in the middle of the intersection to again at the earliest opportunity loszubrettern. With his colleagues, marshrutka drivers of other lines, he gives himself little race to the nearest cross street, where they branch off. Sometimes this leads to minor accidents, but this is not worth mentioning. His musical tastes extend to the old, proven, so he listens mostly Soviet-hit, running on "Radio Chanson". Sometimes, he but also a CD with the hits of the Dagestani and Chechen pop star.
A "Hold Request" button in the marshrutka? Far from it. If you want to get off, you have to enforce his right of vote violence is just screaming out "astanawiitje", "pull over" and the chauffeur for selecting the most appropriate bus stop. If possible, one where someone is waiting, so he immediately fill the empty space can again.
Should it be repaired, the minibus driver and his middle of the road makes it across the road, crawling under it .. If need be, he drags the bus of a Colleagues on the rope through the city - with passengers inside, both with him, and my colleague, of course.
