These orange suicide-mobiles carry about 15 passengers (may pack more if some are standing, packed like sardines) and generally have certified kamikaze for drivers. Pity they are gone from Moscow, superseded by regulated and licensed services: riding them was fun! Going the wrong way, cutting around traffic jams through sidewalks and park alleys, jumping across the curb at full speed... These were the times!
Note the two guys at the crossing who barely escaped the fireball!

looked more like a couple of ruptured high pressure gas canisters rather than fuel from a gas tank.

So while its cheap and the most environmentally friendly abundant fuel around nowadays, the use is very limited here. And that for something that is basically a waste product of the refining process.

There is indeed a state program of converting public transportation to run on liquefied natural gas, like methane. Its a lot cheape and more eco-friendly than diesel or gasoline.
At least now they are not just burning the accompanying methane in giant torches like they did in the 70s.
