State inspectors stop the music on Santa
Clara's streets
SANTA CLARA, Cuba - May 31 (Rigoberto
González Morales, Cubanacán
Press / www.cubanet.org) - State inspectors
have seized the audio systems installed
on licenses private pedicabs.
The inspectors told the pedicab owners
that the battery-powered sound systems were
illegal but refused to specify what laws
were being broken.
Because of the shortage of public transportation,
pedicab owners are licensed to carry one
or two paying passengers.
The pedicab owners considered the music,
on cassettes or CDs, entertainment for the
passengers and a distraction for themselves.
"It was as if carnival was being celebrated,
but now there's no longer music," said
one pedestrian who witnessed the inspectors
in action.
