Amid the serious crisis affecting Cubans, a bus armed with parts from other vehicles has caught attention in Santiago de Cuba.
Through a video shared in the Facebook group "Choferes de Ómnibus por Siempre," several comments were triggered, including those who tried to guess the original brand of the bus and those who celebrated the driver's ingenuity in keeping it running.
"That was previously a Yutong 6118; now I don’t know what brand it is," said the author of the post, who took the opportunity to clarify that the goal of highlighting this innovation is because it demonstrates that "when there’s a will, there’s a way."
In addition, he assured that despite having a less shiny body, the bus has its operational equipment in good condition. “It is a thousand times better than a pile of pretty buses out there,” he stated emphatically.
"The front panels are from the Liaz 6212, part of the body is from the Yutong 6118, and who knows how many other things are in that invention. But I'll tell you one thing, if they allowed everything that's in Puente Nuevo, La Ermita, and all the terminals in Havana to be utilized, almost a hundred buses would go into operation," commented another internet user.
Another person added that that bus is used on the route from the entrance of El Cristo to La Maya, in Santiago de Cuba.
"That is the desire to succeed and to seek money honestly, blessings; whoever builds a car in Cuba is a hero, especially the one who maintains it," pointed out another internet user.
The truth is that in light of a deteriorated bus fleet, for which the regime argues it has no spare parts or the ability to carry out the necessary maintenance, initiatives like these provide a small ray of light in a country where crisis is the main component of everyday life.
