The actual transportation crisis in Cuba has caused travelers seeking to make the journey from Santiago de Cuba, in the east of the country, to Havana, having to spend approximately up to six days on the waiting list.
This was reported by an Internet user on social networks, who took the opportunity to relate the case of his mother, a person he defined as “diabetic, hypertensive” and who now adds “stress and discontent” due to the situation.
This complainant specifically referred to the Viajeros terminal located on Martí Street in that city, from which buses leave for the Cuban capital or other provinces.
“I have my mother that I have had to carry these last six days,” said user Hugo A. Valdez Hernández in the Facebook group “Bazar Santiago de Cuba.”
However, he added that The inconvenience is not only in the case of his mother but also manifests itself in the users who are forced to use said service..
“The complaints are not hers alone. We know people who have been there for more than a week and to top it all off, they have to endure the mafia and the robbery they have there, the number on the waiting list has been on the waiting list for more than six days,” she asserted.
He added that it was not until this Wednesday, May 22, that the number did not advance, from 110 to 153, although it was not clear whether his mother was able to advance or take transportation.
“Stop the abuse, The other day an older man fainted. If you can do it, do it, but don’t make people go there for more than a week to be selling tickets behind the curtain. Gentleman, a little conscience, in this country, not everyone has 5,000 pesos to pay for a bus.“, was the call he made as part of a complaint that brings into debate the serious transportation situation that Cuba faces.
The comments in the publication point out how terrible and abusive the situation is, calling into question the government’s justifications, which always resort to the “blockade” of the United States as the cause of all the problems on the Island.
“There are two blockages that we face daily for procedures of any type and we already know the other. The truth is that it is unhappiness and disappointment,” said one user.
Another person said that the high prices sometimes do not correspond to the capacity of the train and that the trains end up traveling empty, because that is what the station managers prefer.
A few months ago, Villanueva waiting list terminal passengersin Havana, demonstrated asking for a response from the Cuban authorities to the transportation crisis that is being experienced in the country.
Several videos posted on the internet show hundreds of people crowded into the premises, waiting for the moment when a vehicle will take them to their destination.
But this situation has not found a fortunate path for passengers. While the harsh consequences seem to continue in the life of the Cuban.
Recently, the Cuban ruler Miguel Díaz-Canel Bermúdez During the YouTube program ‘From the Presidency’, which he himself presents, he stated that The transport sector is in the “worst moments of recent years”“.
He recognized that The country does not have the income and fuel necessary to stabilize Cuban public transportationwhich has a part of its units stopped due to lack of parts and poor technical condition, and another part due to lack of fuel.
In at least 121 municipalities in the 15 provinces of the country There is significant concern among the population due to the lack of transportation, he said.
