A droshky or drosky (Russian: дрожки (plural); Polish: dorożka (singular); Estonian: troska (singular)) 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. Dray cart.

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.
