Marshrutka (minus) is the main way to get around town. There are more than a hundred of these minibus routes that crisscross the city and travel to the suburbs and beyond. The buses are often overcrowded, and you may find yourself standing during rush hour. The route number is displayed in the window, along with Armenian text listing the major landmarks and streets of the route. When you want to get off, you should say "kangnek" or "ijnokh ka" for the driver to hear, or else, just say "stop" in English.
