معنی

To use a public bus for transportation.

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

In Mexico, buses are often called 'camiones'. Don't be surprised if someone asks if you 'agarraste el camión'. In Buenos Aires, the 'colectivo' (or 'bondi') is an icon of the city. They even have a specific art style called 'Fileteado' used to decorate them. While 'tomar' is understood, 'coger' is the standard. However, be very careful using 'coger' in Latin America as it is a vulgar slang for sex.
