Public Transportation in St Petersburg

I'd like to explain how the buses in St Petersburg work. Unfortunately, I haven't figured it out myself, so I can't do that.

However, today I took one of the sketchy vans with numbers on the sides that serve as buses (the "real" buses are more limited and move slower). By myself. I was so proud. Basically, the vans drive around their respective routes, and you wave them down when you see them. Then you get on and while they're driving, you pay them. Then you shout "STOP" when you want to get off.
