In many cities of Russia buses long ago had been replaced with "shared taxi" — commercial analog of buses, usually with micro buses. You have to shout before arriving at bus stop otherwise driver may pass it. Driver usually smokes while driving and listens loudly to songs about criminal life ("Russian chanson"). And all this taxi luxury without burden of installing privacy-invasive apps — just pass cash to driver while he drives at 80 km/h.

- dagenleg 10y agoNot a model for socialism or communism either. Poor Russia.
