Kind of weird, I think it should begin with PAZ picture. And I thought PAZ is still the backbone of this transport, because Gazelle is low-capacity and usually the ride is triple the cost – Gnomz 007( ?) 02:46, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
What kind of minibuses are these monstrosities (I assume the ones in the Kiev and St. Petersburg pictures are the same model)? I've never seen one quite like these before. Just curious.— Ëzhiki (ërinacëus amurënsis) • ( yo?); 00:35, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
What about suicidal caucasian "Gazellist" without driving license and "40 minutes of horror and you're at home"? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 194.186.150.252 ( talk) 14:54, 23 December 2006 (UTC).
I took away the verifiable notice because this article is not encyclopedic. It relates the experiences of travellers in former Soviet Bloc countries and provides other travellers with an understanding of a public transport system that is not found in English-speaking countries.
Clarified the GAZelle photo since it is only typical in Russia. I have firsthand experience seeing and travelling on marshrutki in Moscow, Chelyabinsk, Ekaterinburg and Satka (CHEL), as well as in Ukraine (Kiev, Dnepropetrovsk, Krivoy Rog, Simferopol, Feodosia).

I think this article should be part of Minibus article instead."Marshrutka" is a slang word by the way. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.219.160.246 ( talk) 12:32, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
In English, marshrutka is the word I use, with marshrutkas for the plural. In Catalan/Spanish I might say "taxi de línia"/"taxi de linea", if I'm describing to someone not familiar with them. But overall, marshrutka/marxrutka is the clearest word, and in Catalan/Spanish with feminine agreement. Aquesta nit, no n'hi havia marxrutki. (although one also finds examples of "marxrutkes" for the plural). - Francis Tyers · 20:25, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
I think this article needs to be sorted out. There is some structure of the article shown in contents, but there is poor structure within the text, it is just hard to read.
It would be great if somebody who lives in CIS countries (and knows english well) would edit this article to fix its structure and make it more realistic, because as of 2009-06-13 it indeed looks like a single traveller's experience.
I live in Poltava, Ukraine and I can tell a bit about this topic (and I may edit a part of article later). It is necessary to add more 'Bogdan's, because since early 2000's their amount has greatly increased, they are popular in all ukrainian cities, e.g. in Poltava they make ca. 1/2 of all so-called (*1) marshrutkas. Also maybe it would be good to place info about a ticket price in marshrutkas (the differ from 1.25 to >2.50 UAH as I know - as of June 2009).
1: In fact, native people in Poltava doesn't refer 'Bogdan's and 'Tata Etalon's to marshrutkas, either they are reffered to busses along with bigger ones (and the same price of 1.00 UAH). Only smaller ones (Gazelle, BAZ, Rutah, Mercedes Sprinter, and similar) are called marshrutkas (with price of 1.25 UAH, and do not have a conductor). That's all the difference about it. 193.84.90.3 ( talk) 17:54, 13 June 2009 (UTC) Roman K.
It reads like some discussion which is inappropriate. 93.72.146.196 ( talk) 17:08, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
Propose to change the title of the article on the Marshrutnoe taxi or Routed taxi. The word "marshrutka" (маршрутка) is indeed a slang or colloquial name formed from the "маршрутное такси" (marshrutnoe taxi). In the Russian-language Wikipedia article also called "Маршрутное такси". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.161.247.2 ( talk) 21:26, 9 February 2013 (UTC)
I first heard the word in Ukraina, and I am really surprised it is so widely used. Which leads to the question why in Poland they simply talk about minibuses (or was that for me as a foreigner)? Still Polish is a Slavic language as well. In Albania these buses are called "furgon" (which is probably no original Albanian word I guess). Rbakels ( talk) 09:52, 11 May 2013 (UTC)
We need even MOAR irrelevant details in pictures' captions here( Ukrained2012 ( talk) 03:45, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
