A
droshky or
drosky (дрожки) 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.
- Various two-wheeled or four-wheeled public carriages used in Russia and other countries.
The name comes from the Russian droga, pole of a wagon.
