Significado
Using public transportation.
Contexto cultural
In Baku, the 'BakuBus' system is very modern. You must enter through the front door and tap your BakıKart. In older 'marşrut' buses, you can enter through any door and pay the driver directly. In rural areas, buses (often called 'Rayon avtobusu') might not have fixed stops. You 'minmək' by waving your hand on the side of the road. The concept of 'mounting' transport is shared across Turkic cultures, reflecting a shared history of nomadic horse-riding. The phrase was standardized during the Soviet era when public transport became the primary way for the proletariat to reach factories.
