HAVANA, Cuba, Jan 12 (ACN) A total of 84 imported urban buses will arrive in the country this Thursday, January 13, to reinforce public transportation in the capital city, according to the general director of transport Leandro Méndez Peña.
According to press reports, these are the first vehicles to arrive in the country in the last four years.
“Efforts are underway to speed up the legalization of the vehicles in terms of license plates and circulation permits,” Méndez Peña remarked. “Likewise, we are implementing actions for the preservation of the buses and the training of drivers and mechanics, as well as for maintenance purposes.”
Reinaldo García Zapata, governor of the province of Havana, stressed the importance of maintaining the roads in proper condition for the benefit of these buses, which will improve the public transportation service in the city, largely affected by breakages and lack of resources such as parts, tires and batteries.
