It's an abbreviation of taxi ruta fija.
"Trufi
The trufi (taxi ruta fija or fixed route taxi) is a type of taxi that has a set route (displayed on a card that hangs on the windshield as well as by the color of small flags it bears on the hood) and a cost of €0.33."

"Taxi Trufis are taxis that travel along a fixed route within the city. The name itself is literally short for Taxi RUta FIja (fixed route taxi). Each trufi has a designated number that corresponds to the route it takes through the city; the placards posted on the windshields also give names of the major city locations it visits. You can hail a trufi at any point along its route and ask to get off at any point along the route as well. The fixed fare is the same as for a micro bus (see below) and thus much cheaper than regular taxis. The goal of the trufi driver is to keep his taxi as fully occupied as possible--the maximum number ranges from 5 to about 15 (in minivans), but they aren't allowed to pack passengers in as tightly as in the micros (see below). We take trufis most of the time because they are cheaper than regular taxis and faster than the rickety micros. I think this would be a great, cost-effective travel option in the US--what do you think?"

In effect, it's a kind of microbus, but it's even smaller than that, and I don't think we can use that term because they also have microbuses (micros) in Bolivia, which are different from trufis (and larger). See the first source cited above.
