Starting with the addition of 35 electric tricycles, two new routes for passenger transportation will be introduced 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 Sports City and the Joaquín Albarrán Clinical Surgical Hospital (Clínico de 26) in El Cerro, Eduardo Rodríguez Dávila, Minister of Transport, reported via Facebook.
Rodríguez recently announced that the fleet of electric tricycles for public passenger transportation in Havana has expanded with the addition of 35 new vehicles, joining the 118 that were already operating in the city.
He noted that currently these media operate 17 routes across eight municipalities.
In addition to the two new routes, 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 connecting 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 coming months, the assembly process will continue, allowing us to reach the remaining provinces that still do not have this service," the executive noted.
Rodríguez Dávila revealed that five electric tricycles were recently placed in each of the locations within the municipalities of Baracoa and Maisí in Guantánamo, as well as the same number in Gibara, Holguín.
In the midst of the transportation crisis in Cuba and the fuel shortage, the government has promised to create electric tricycles equipped with advanced technology and integrated solar panels for the Cuban people.
The vehicles will not only be used for transporting passengers; they must also develop a communication system and disseminate, through their two screens and an audio system, topics of interest to the regime.
