public transportation in cuba

[thgear]

from my recent trip.

it seems they took a number of old soviet buses, and made it a limo slash trailer...

anyway it was full of people, awesome!

a.k.a 'the camel'

It's cheaper than the cocos but a little hot and crowded...

Juarez, MX uses old skool buses for public transport :)

The TTC should use these and not charge a fare - it would be cheaper than the way they carry on now.

Great from a drivers point of view if they run pin to pin - just back up into the station, hook them up and off you go - some light armor plate on the truck and when the public want to shoot each other no big deal.

That picture is hilarious - gotta love their ingenuity!

I spent a week in Cuba a few years back. While wandering the streets of Havanna, I stumbled upon this.

If you look closely, you can see the "Type R" sticker on the fender, just ahead of the door

<sigh>
