Cuba has implemented severe restrictions on public transportation, reserving spaces on trains and buses for emergency cases, such as the sick and those attending funerals, due to the country's financial struggles. The new measures aim to manage the limited resources available for cross-country travel. This move reflects the escalating humanitarian challenges in Cuba, including garbage management failures and economic pressure.
