Passenger transportation in Havana is severely impacted by fuel shortages, leading to some routes having only two departures per day.

The Facebook profile "Transportación Habana TH" reported this Tuesday that there is instability in the bus departures from the terminals: "In some, the decision has been made to have only one departure in the morning and the next departure in the afternoon."

The note also indicated that in other cases, "there are two departures in the morning and the next two in the afternoon."

The report, which addresses transportation difficulties in Havana, emphasized that "these two morning departures and two afternoon departures will not be available for all routes," highlighting the challenging situation for getting around in the Cuban capital.

However, even before the collapse of the National Electric System last Friday, passenger transportation in Havana was facing serious difficulties.

Recently, users relying on the P-8 and P-6 routes for transportation in Havana experienced issues accessing the service due to the breakdown of several buses.

However, Eduardo Rodríguez Dávila, Cuba's Minister of Transport, assured on Facebook that "transportation means have been made available to the Defense Councils of the provinces affected by Hurricane Oscar for whatever is needed in those areas."

Additionally, he stated that conditions have been established to facilitate the transportation of brigades from the Electric Union to support the recovery of the areas affected by Hurricane Oscar.

He assured that the necessary means are available to transport the resources needed for the recovery of the affected areas.

Finally, he noted that over 200 "gazelles" circulated through Havana this Monday.
