Havana implements new routes for electric tricycles for public transportation.

Starting with the incorporation of 35 electric tricycles, two new routes will be implemented for passenger transportation in Havana.

The first route will connect points 23 and 26 with 23 and L, both urban nodes located in El Vedado, while the second will link 23 and 26 with the Ciudad Deportiva and the Joaquín Albarrán Clinical Surgical Hospital (Clinico de 26) in El Cerro, reported Eduardo Rodríguez Dávila, Minister of Transport, via Facebook.

Rodríguez reported in recent days that the park of electric tricycles for public passenger transportation in Havana had increased with a provision of 35 new vehicles that will join the 118 already operating in the city.

He pointed out that currently these services operate 17 routes across eight municipalities.

In addition to the two new ones, one within El Vedado and the other connecting El Cerro and El Vedado, there are three in Guanabacoa, five in Boyeros, two in Playa, one in Plaza de la Revolución, one that connects Playa and Marianao, and three that connect Centro Habana, one of which connects to La Habana Vieja and the other two to Plaza.

"In the following months, the assembly process will continue, allowing us to reach the rest of the provinces that still do not have this service," noted the executive.

Rodríguez Dávila revealed that five electric tricycles were recently placed in each of the localities of the municipalities of Baracoa and Maisí, in Guantánamo, and the same number in Gibara, Holguín.

Amid the transportation crisis in Cuba and the fuel shortage, the government has promised Cubans to create electric tricycles that will have high technology and will be equipped with solar panels.

The vehicles will not only be dedicated to passenger transport, but they must also develop the communication system and disseminate, with their two screens and an audio system, the topics of interest of the regime.
