Cuba 85 - On the buses.

[Beagletorque]

It wasn't really until we were coming back to Havana by coach (which afforded better views than the taxi we used going) from Vinales that the people transport struck me. It really is "Cattle Class", travelling by coach or taxi is a comparative luxury unaffordable to most.

People carrier.



"Bus" station in Pinar del Rio. (excuse the poor photo quality as these were taken through a dirty coach window)





On the motorway.



At eye level.



Pigs don't get a roof or a window!

I thought the caption for image 5 was a bit cruel at first...then I realised the captions are above the images, not below!!

I wonder how many human passengers (that we can't see) were riding with the pigs!

I wouldn't worry about a dirty coach window Andrew, many of mine were shot over the last two weeks through a dirty ship window and when it wasn't that it was a wet coach window or a very brightly reflective coach window )

I like the woodwork in #1! As for the others, the transport isn't as bad as S E Asian trains, is it? Sheer luxury - they don't even have to hang off the outside!

Interesting shots.
