A reader of CiberCuba sent images this Sunday from Línea Street, in the Havana neighborhood of El Vedado, where several sections show little vehicle traffic and minimal activity on the public road.
The author of the photos, who requested to remain anonymous, found "" during his journey, amidst the economic crisis and the lack of fuel that is affecting the country.
The photographs show one of the most well-known arteries of Havana with reduced traffic, in a context marked by ongoing difficulties in the supply of gasoline and diesel.
Impact of fuel scarcity
In recent months, the irregular distribution of fuel has led to long lines at gas stations and limitations in both state and private transportation. The situation has reduced mobility in several provinces, including the capital.
The lack of fuel affects not only the transit of private vehicles, but also public transportation, services, and overall economic activity.
Economic crisis and reduced mobility
The energy scarcity is compounded by the deterioration of the population's purchasing power, amidst high prices and low wages. This limits opportunities for recreation, mobility, and consumption, factors that also affect the decrease in regular activity in central areas.
El Vedado, traditionally one of the most vibrant areas of Havana, has experienced ups and downs in its urban dynamics in recent years, characterized by power outages, transportation difficulties, and reduced commercial activity.
The shared images reflect a reality that several citizens have reported from different parts of the country: less crowded streets and reduced mobility compared to previous stages.
