As expected, after the announcement of the increase in the price of fuel in Cuba, some private transport drivers in Havana, the Cuban capital, have already confirmed the increase in the price of this type of transport, according to complaints from residents.
In Havana, the price of diesel and gasoline on the black market has experienced a considerable increase, according to several citizens interviewed by Martí Noticias.
This increase has had a direct impact on the cost of transportation, with an increase in the price of tickets for private transportation. An example occurred in the municipality of Centro Habana, where private transporter Rafael Alba Macías confirmed that the price of a liter of diesel has reached 250 pesos in national currency.
The increase in the price of fuel on the black market has triggered a domino effect in the private transport sector. Carriers have been forced to raise the cost of tickets, in some cases up to 100 pesos per section.
Increase in the price of private transport
This situation is generating great concern among the population, especially among those who depend on public transportation for their daily lives. Many do not have the necessary resources to pay these new prices, which limits their mobility and affects their quality of life.
The Cuban government recently implemented two unpopular measures: raising fuel prices and increasing electricity rates. However, on the day these measures came into effect, numerous gas stations throughout the country remained closed due to a price change process.
This situation generates uncertainty and annoyance among the population, which is already facing a difficult economic situation, where scarcity and inflation prevail. Now, with the increase in the price of private transportation, many will have to choose to go to work, school, etc., on foot, despite the long distances.
