The fleet of electric tricycles for public passenger transportation in Havana has expanded with an addition of 35 new vehicles, joining the existing 118 already operating in the city. According to a Facebook post by Minister Eduardo Rodríguez Dávila, these vehicles currently operate 15 routes across eight municipalities.
"At present, provincial authorities are evaluating the best way to distribute them," he stated. Currently, there are three routes in Guanabacoa, five in Boyeros, two in Playa, one in Plaza de la Revolución, one connecting Playa and Marianao, and three connecting Centro Habana, one of which links to La Habana Vieja and the other two to Plaza.
Seven municipalities still lack this service: Diez de Octubre, Cerro, Arroyo Naranjo, La Lisa, Regla, Habana del Este, San Miguel del Padrón, and Cotorro.
"In the coming months, the assembly process will continue, allowing the service to reach other provinces that currently lack it," the minister added. Rodríguez Dávila also revealed that five electric tricycles were recently deployed in each of the municipalities of Baracoa and Maisí in Guantánamo, as well as in Gibara, Holguín.
