The Cuban company Servicios Automotores S.A. announced that starting this Monday, the sale of motorcycle units will be conducted through the Ticket app.

Initially, 125 CC units of the Taeko brand will be sold at La Palma stores in Havana, as well as in establishments located in Villa Clara, Caibarién, and Holguín, the entity, also known as SASA, reported on Facebook.

The company explained that businesses must be visible on the Ticket app starting at 2:00 PM this Monday, and that users can find the stores by using the word "SASA" in the search bar, as well as filtering by province and municipality.

In the brief statement, it was noted that having an appointment in the Ticket app does not guarantee the sale of the unit.

In this regard, he emphasized that the product is sold against documentation, which must be current, and reiterated that failure to meet the established requirements results in the loss of the right to purchase.

In the published infographic, the entity warns that interested individuals must be registered on the EnZona payment gateway, which limits a significant number of people from accessing this product.

It also alerted that users must register in the Ticket application and purchase a subscription plan, in addition to "staying tuned to our communication channels."

Among the requirements to access the motorcycle units, he mentioned that it is mandatory to present annex two to make conversions and modifications, which is issued by the Provincial Transportation Directorate of each territory, in case it is not of the same make and model as the vehicle.

Those interested must also bring the vehicle registration and a notarial power of attorney if they are not the owner.

Although the company did not specify the price of the product, it noted in the comments on its Facebook page that it would cost 850 USD, a significant increase that did not go unnoticed among internet users.

In 2020, when the sale of motorcycle units resumed in Cuba, the Taeko brand 125 CC model cost 550 USD, and four years later, its value increased by 300 USD.

Ramon Cutiño commented, “Didn’t the 125 CC bikes cost 550 USD? Since when did they increase by 300 USD?”

Another person named Pablo Legrá Pérez warned: "They are ruining the prices; it's obvious they have no competition," once again denouncing how the pricing policy operates in Cuba within those companies that maintain a tight monopoly.

In the midst of the current economic crisis affecting Cuba, which has intensified in recent years, people struggle when it comes to getting from one place to another. As a result, those who can are seeking to have their own means of transportation.

Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel acknowledged the disastrous state of transportation in Cuba last April, but stated that it is a phenomenon related to the global crisis.

During the YouTube program “Desde la Presidencia,” which he hosts himself, the leader stated that the sector is experiencing its "worst moments in recent years."

In this broadcast, it was also acknowledged that the state public transport system now carries less than half the passengers it did five years ago, dropping from 5.9 million travelers per day to just 2.7 million.
