The Routh reduction for Lagrangian systems with cyclic variable is presented as an example of a Lagrangian reduction. It appears that the Routhian, which is a generating object of reduced dynamics, is not a function any more but a section of a bundle of affine values.

Keywords: Routh reduction, symmetries, Lagrangian mechanics, Hamiltonian mechanics, Tulczyjew triple.
