NUEVA GERONA, Cuba (www.cubanet.org) - Public transportation on the Isle of
Youth is operating with only 10 percent of its buses because of a shortage of
spare parts.
The buses in question are used Fiats from Italy and Giron VI model assembled
in Cuba over 30 years ago.
The buses need starters, batteries, transmissions and mufflers, among other
parts.
Transportation minister Álvaro Pérez Morales said recently
that there's no immediate solution to the transportation problem both
maritime and land in the region.
