Havana Transport Company authorities confirmed that this week, in the early hours of the morning, a P16 bus was pelted with stones by several people in the central Havana area. Although there was material damage, no injuries were reported.

Transportation in Havana

For those who rely on public transportation in Havana, getting from one place to another can be a nightmare amid the current crisis. Therefore, to facilitate access to updated information about routes and timetables, a mobile application (app) was created this year.

This is Urbanos, an application that provides data about the operation of public transport. Urbanos is the result of joint work between the GeoMIX agency of the GEOCUBA Business Group, a company linked to the Revolutionary Armed Forces, and the Cuban capital's transportation department.

Urbanos can now be downloaded from the Apklis website, the Cuban App Repository or from its Telegram channel. At the moment, it is only available for Havana, but it is expected to be extended to other provinces later.
