Images are circulating on social media of a bus terminal in Santiago de Cuba, where the majority of the vehicles show a high degree of deterioration, causing great outrage among internet users who question the management of the regime in public transportation.

The profile "Rodando Por Cuba" shared a gallery of images of the bus graveyard on Facebook, a post that has generated numerous comments, most of them agreeing on pointing out the poor government management and expressing that the fate of the buses would be very different in the hands of the private sector.

Freddy Jiménez Méndez expressed his opinion that "this only happens in Cuba, a Socialist State Enterprise where no manager, leader, or official, however they want to be named, has responsibilities with these equipment," and emphasized that the regime should lease them to individuals, "who can put them in good working conditions."

"Put the self-employed individuals in charge so they can see how to get all those buses up and running," said Tania Salazar. However, the regime is waging a crusade against this form of management in public transportation.

Yordis Cruz Lores expressed a similar opinion: "There is only one solution, to rent them to drivers who can bring these excellent buses back to life, or sell them to a small or medium-sized business, without obstacles or bureaucracy." The internet user mentioned that this way one of the current problems of society will be alleviated: transportation.

And in the context of the transportation crisis, the Cuban Prime Minister, Manuel Marrero Cruz, recently showed annoyance during a visit to the municipality of Antilla in Holguin, where in front of state-owned transport workers, he once again criticized those who carry out this work in the private sector.

Marrero Cruz scolded the Antilla transporters after the public transportation buses were standing still due to fuel shortages, while private transport trucks were operating.

The Prime Minister acknowledged that if tomorrow the buses were handed over to private companies, they probably would not be standing still, as they were at that moment.
