dollar van
Cheap urban transport
A dollar van is an informal, privately operated minibus or van providing transportation along fixed routes, typically in urban areas underserved by public transit.
The name comes from the original fare, though prices have risen.
Dollar vans are especially common in New York City's Brooklyn and Queens, often serving Caribbean immigrant communities: I take the dollar van down Flatbush Avenue.
