A droshky or drosky (Russian: 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.[1]
- Various two-wheeled or four-wheeled public carriages used in Russia and other countries.[2]
The name comes from the Russian droga, pole of a wagon.
