Signification
Using public bus transportation.
Contexte culturel
In Ulaanbaatar, 'sitting in the bus' is the primary way to see the city. The 'U-Money' card is essential; you cannot pay with cash anymore. It is culturally mandatory to give up your seat to elderly people, pregnant women, or people with disabilities. Failing to do so is seen as very rude. During winter, buses are crowded because everyone wants to escape the cold. 'Автобусанд суух' becomes a survival tactic. Buses are often where people listen to the latest Mongolian pop songs or news, as many drivers play the radio loudly.
