Crackdown
on pedicabs in eastern Cuba province
HOLGUIN, Cuba, November 18 (www.cubanet.org)
- The National Revolutionary Police recently
arrested and fined 25 pedicab owners, most
of whom did not have licenses to operate.
The arrests took place in the municipality
of Moa, where a joint Canadian-Cuban nickel
mining operation is located. Residents complained
that the pedicabs are needed because of
lack of official transportation.
The owners were fined between 500 and 700
pesos, more than twice an average monthly
salary.
