HAVANA, September 12 (Amarilis Cortina Rey, Cuba-Verdad / www.cubanet.org) -
Bus departures in Havana were reduced in half this week because there is not
enough fuel to provide the service, said an industry source who asked not to be
identified.
"Many workers of the urban bus company work alternate days, a measure
officials implemented to prevent unemployment," said the source.
But the lack of fuel is not the only cause for the reduction in service;
many of the vehicles are broken and there are no spare parts for them.Residents
of Párraga, a section of the outlying Arroyo Naranjo municipality of the
city, told Cuba Verdad that sometimes they have waited two and three hours for a
bus.
In Managua, another section of the municipality, people said that during the
last 48 hours no buses have left in the mornings.
In Batabanó, a town on the south coast of Havana province, residents
say only two or three vehicles leave toward Havana a day, although departures
are undependable.
