Yes. And in Chile it is a taxi that works like a minibus, that has a route and picks up passengers as seats become available. The driver will sometimes leave you very near your home if not at the doorsteps.

A mix of a taxi and a bus. :)

The word desgraciado is not an insult, it meaning a disgrace.

"Desgraciado" can be used both as an insult and a person who has some problem, in Spain at least.

¡Eres un desgraciado, has roto mi jarrón preferido!
Es un pobre desgraciado, no tiene ni casa donde dormir.

A todos los hispanos y españoles aquí nececitan saber que desgracia no
es igual al la palabradisgrace en inglés.

Disgrace es una palabra más fuerte y parece más la palabras deshonra, pecado, escándalo.

Yes, I know that the word Desgraciado is not exactly an insult but at least in my country it's an insult.

I don't know if the word desgraciado is an insult in other places.
