Droshky
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
A droshky or drosky (Russian: дрожки; Polish: dorożka) is a term used for several types of carriage, including:
- A low, four-wheeled open carriage used especially in Russia. It consists of a long bench on which the passengers ride sideways or astride, as on a saddle, with their feet on bars near the ground.[1]
- Various two-wheeled or four-wheeled public carriages used in Russia and other countries.[2]
The name comes from the Russian word droga, pole of a wagon. Baroosh was, briefly in the 1850s, a colloquial Muscovite term for the Droshky.
