    In cities around the world, crowded buses are a regular sight at rush hour. In Cuba, crowded buses are a common sight at any time. These images were taken in Havana in the early afternoon.

Exact fare: 3 pesos or 2 guilders

Circa-1980 DAF bus, built in the Netherlands.       If this truly is a zero-sum universe, does that mean some old Cuban bus with a "HABANA DEL ESTE" destination board is just now leaving Eindhoven? See also The Busman's Paradise
