U nix net racpicaniix. Chto eto racpicanie? Nikto ni znaet. I u net kart (route maps?), well, non posted. You just have to guess and good luck, bon voyage. It seems to work for Georgians, but I prefer the Russian system of at least having a posted timetable and route map, so you can sort of expect when the next bus after the one you just missed is coming. But I guess the Soviets couldn't perfect everyone's system. Zdec v Gruzie, u nac jiolti avtobusui i marshutki (i v Tbilise, metro). U nix net racpicaniix. Chto eto racpicanie? Nikto ni znaet.

I'd like to say that using our prepositions is more various and difficult. You can also say "Я еду в абтобусе /в метро/ в трамвае" etc. (I'm going by bus / subway / by tram) if you mean "inside bus etc." Or you don't need to use a preposition in the phrase "Вика любит путешествовать/ ездить поездом" (Vika loves to travel by train).

I'm really glad you liked the post. The Russian 'elektrichka' equals a 'suburban electric train' and should've of course made it into the post! I completely forgot about, though it is - as the expression is - a chapter of its own among means of Russian public transportation... I've heard some stories, let me tell you! Thank you, that's a really good idea. I should make a post about how to pronounce years in Russian :) be on the look-out! Hi Karyn! I’m really glad you liked the post.
