One dollar death ride: Russia’s public transport perils

January 15th, 2012


On the daily commute to work, we all hope to be safe in the hands of public transport. However, the low-cost shuttle buses which operate on Russia’s roads, called “marshrutkas”, are becoming an increasingly lethal option. A high speed chase … and a miracle that no-one was killed. For more than ten minutes, Volgograd police pursued a speeding shuttle bus which had a drunk driver at the wheel. In another shocking incident two minibuses raced each other in central Russia, leaving 15 people injured. Shuttle buses are very popular throughout Russia due to the low cost of a ride.

For just one day Pyotr Shkumatov, living in Moscow, parked his car and took a shuttle bus to work. He says he almost got killed. “There were four serious violations in a row, very risky ones too: running through a red light, going the wrong way,” he said. “I was so scared, I was ready to grab the guy by the hand and make him pull over.” Meanwhile, authorities in the Russian
