Death to the Camels

The ugly humped commuter conveyance pulled by a diesel rig, known as the camel, is being phased out.

Cuba is importing from China brand new articulating buses that swivel around intersections.

These long buses cost almost three times as much as normal buses, but they have better fuel efficiency.

The buses come more often on many routes now. The buses are still crowded, but it is slightly more comfortable crowding. Plus, now you cant say the rhyme "señora, está agarando mi cuello, en este caloroso camello."

Smartly, the Cuban authorities are first investing in refurbishing bus garages and fixing up the streets along the route of the new buses.
