Amphibious type armor BRDM, who have retired from the ranks of the Russian army, are performing duties;taxi in St. Petersburg, passing passengers from their rivers.
According a publication of English Russia, which is accompanied by a photo tribute with the armored taxis in action, one company has obtained a license to use the vehicles as a taxi. BRDMs are designed for all-terrain operations, while the company uses (probably justifiably) the "Safer Taxi" slogan.
