/Sounds like "BOO" (as in "boot") + "rrah"/
An old, battered public bus in Mexico, usually the kind that creaks, moves slowly, and serves secondary routes that nothing else reaches. The name comes from "burra" (female donkey) and carries a tone of affectionate resignation: it is not glamorous, but it is the only thing passing through your neighborhood and it gets you there eventually.
“Wait a bit, the burra comes through in about twenty minutes according to the map.”
“I had to take the burra because I did not have money for a taxi.”
