Most comfortable and uncomfortable marshutka ride at the same time

As I sit down, I realize  that it has the most soft and comfy chairs I ever sat on, I'm not exaggerating, this were the softest and most comfortable chairs I ever sat on in public transportation anywhere.  At the next stop the last seat gets taken and I start hoping that the driver is gonna obey the rules and not pickup anymore passengers. Boy am I wrong? As we go along, at every stop he picks up more passengers, thankfully no old ladies so I stay in my comfy chair. Every time I think that there is no more room, someone gets in and magically finds a place to stand. As we get to my stop I have no less then 4 asses inches away from my face. 2 people have to exit, so I can exit myself (again my chair was right next to the door). I don't even want to imagine what would happen if I had taken the sit in the back.

"Mar-shut-ka"

Tbilisi, Georgia 2009 by Martin Lukk

(Marshutka, sometimes called Marşut for short in Azeri (although for some unacceptable reason Azerbaijan is not included in this definition), is a cheap, popular and dingy form of transportation in the CIS countries. The last one I took got me from Akhaltsikhe to Tbilisi in 3 hours for 12 Lari, or $7. They had some 80s mixtape on and I was beyond happy looking at ridiculously beautiful mountains and rivers and repeatedly listening to this. Though Liana has had a lot of children puking on her in the ones she took in Armenia.)
