Marshrutnoye taksi[1] (Russian: Маршрутное такси; Ukrainian: Маршрутне таксі, romanized:Marshrutne taksi, lit.'Routed taxicab'), commonly known by the colloquialism Marshrutka[2][3] (Russian and Ukrainian: маршру́тка, Russian:[mɐrʂˈrutkə], Ukrainian:[mɐrʃˈrutkɐ], plural marshrutki), are share taxis found in Eastern Europe and the republics of the former Soviet Union.[4] Usually vans, they drive along set routes, depart only when all seats are filled, and may have higher fares than buses.[2][3][4] Passengers can board a marshrutka anywhere along its route if there are seats available.[3][4]
Fares are usually paid before the marshrutka leaves; riders near the driver are responsible for handing up the other passengers' fares and passing back change.[4][5]
