The repair of the road to the municipality of Amancio should be completed by July 26th, enabling the restoration of bus service from that town to Havana, according to information released at the summary meeting of the Las Tunas transportation system inspection, chaired by Eduardo Rodríguez Dávila, Cuban Minister of this branch.

Las Tunas, Cuba.– The Minister expressed his satisfaction with the province's progress, but noted that it is still far from what is needed; therefore, efforts must continue every day to improve the services to the population.

Among the results are the repair of four rail tankers for water distribution in rural areas of Manatí and Puerto Padre, and the increase in the technical availability coefficient to over 70 percent for the national bus fleet and school transportation.

During the meeting, it was reported about the paving of the bridge section on the capital's southern ring road. It was pointed out that proper road maintenance must be planned, prioritizing those with the highest risk of accidents.

As an example of the implementation of work strategies that benefit the population, they highlighted the success of the alliance between the Cubataxi agency and a non-state management actor, now committed to declaring the tricycle base a self-sustaining area, independent of the National Electric Power System, based on the use of solar energy.

The Ministry officials once again called for expediting the establishment of a price list for passenger transportation using leased vehicles and private carriers. In this regard, the Minister emphasized that it must be done rationally, taking into account the vehicles' real operating costs, in consultation with drivers, and tailored to the reality of each region to enforce and ensure its compliance.

Difficulties hindering passenger mobility and the movement of goods, such as the lack of fuel, tire oil, and spare parts, were revealed as part of the inspection during the exchanges with workers and residents of the eight municipalities.

Many other subjective causes add an extra burden to transportation services in the province, which must be addressed until they are eradicated, Rodríguez Dávila asserted.
