CT63 – A Day in the Caucasus Life #2: Public Transport | The People In Our Neighborhood


This episode will take you for a ride… on public transportation! And it’s a heck of a lot more interesting than it may seem. With deftness and penetrating insight—and quite a bit of experience—Andrew and Eli examine some of the more colorful aspects of Caucasus life on buses, trams, trolleys, and the ever ubiquitous marshrutkas. If you’ve never witnessed a “window battle,” or if it’s been a few decades since you’ve seen a young man leap out of his seat for a woman, or if you want to know the real importance of proper declination in Russian grammar of numbers, look no further. It’s exotic, it’s surprising, and it’s just a day in the Caucasus life.
