"Mashrutka Madness" Buses Tip by gussymons
Buses, Saint Petersburg: 28 reviews and 20 photos
Mashrutka's are basically knackered minibuses which are licensed to carry people along designated routes around the city.
They stop generally anywhere and to stop you have to say the Russian word for stop which is something like 'Astan-OV-ka' with a 'pa-ZHAL-sta' thrown in for politeness.
It costs anything from 6 to 12 roubles a trick (not much really). Some of the mashrutki are dead modern, but usually they are pants.
They are usually white and will have a number on the front and side. You have to pay the driver when you get in so make sure you have change. They don't accept Amex or any other card.
