Marshrutka

Okay, so imagine you want to go somewhere but you don't have a car. Now, there's this big van called marshrutka that can take you to your destination. It's like a bus but smaller and can take you to more places than a regular city bus.

Marshrutka is a word that comes from Russian language and it is used in some countries in Eastern Europe and Asia. These mini-buses usually have a set route but they can also pick people up from the side of the road if they're going in the same direction.

Once you get on the marshrutka, you pay the driver and pick a seat. Sometimes it can be crowded and you might have to share your seat with someone else. The driver will then start driving and make stops along the way to drop off and pick up passengers.

It's a cheap and convenient way to travel in some countries, but sometimes it can be uncomfortable and unsafe. So always be careful, hold on tight, and enjoy the ride!
