As many of you know, my insides are definitely green in nature and boy, was I excited when I learned about AZ’s awesome mass transit system, marşukas. A marşuka is a autobus (similar to the van operated by the family on Jon & Kate Plus 8) that carts people to and from locations. Neat things about marşukas include:
- They stop anywhere. Just walk out to a street and flag one down.
- They numbered so you know which ride goes where.
- They are cheap. For as little as 20 gepik you can hitch a ride.
- They are usually pretty full, meaning that many people are not using cars that contribute to greenhouse gas emission!
Now, of course there are some bad things:
- On rainy days, an available space in a marşuka is hard to come by.
- It takes awhile to get used to the driving style.
- If you start looking for a specific number/ route, you will never find it.
Just get a gander at the Youth Development groups’ marşuka pictures!
