Public transportation in Havana worsens
HAVANA, Cuba, August 29 (Ariel Delgado
Covarrubias / www.cubanet.org) - A worsening
of public transportation in Havana has caused
grumbling among those who depend on the
bus service.
"This unbearable," said a youth
at a bus stop at the busy corner of Boyeros
and 100. "I've been waiting for two
hours and the buses don't stop."
There were an estimated 80 people waiting
at the stop, while dozens more awaited buses
going in another direction.
"Not all of us having money for a
taxi," said in a man in his forties.
"They still want us to arrive early
at work," said a woman holding her
infant son in her arms.
Summer vacations have increased the number
of people traveling by bus, while the number
of units available has decreased because
of mechanical problems.
One man waiting for a bus said the government
will have to buy more buses or distribute
bicycles among residents, as was done in
the nineties.
