Significado
Boarding a public transport vehicle.
Contexto cultural
In Belgrade, boarding the bus often involves a 'struggle' during rush hour. It is common to see people pushing slightly to ensure they get in before the doors close. It is highly expected that younger people offer their seats to elders immediately after boarding. Not doing so is considered very rude. The phrase 'kucati kartu' (to punch/validate a ticket) is the immediate next step after 'ući u autobus'. The bus driver is often addressed as 'Majstore' (Master/Craftsman). It is a sign of respect and a common way to get their attention.
The 'Majstore' Trick
If you are boarding and the doors start to close, shout 'Majstore!' to get the driver to stop.
Case Alert
Never say 'u autobusu' with the verb 'ući'. It's the most common error for beginners.
