Vintage cars which often conjure up the images of Cuba park in front of Hanava's Capitolio Nacional. Thanks to the embargo, Cuba has not imported automobiles from America for nearly fifty years. Yet Cubans have an uncanny capability to maintain, decorate and keep these cars running. As a main mean of transportation, these vintage taxis often run on fixed routes only known by locals. For 10 pesos each head ($1=26pesos), they go whenever the capacity is filled, pick up and drop passengers along the routes. Unlike in many third world countries, these shared taxis are rarely overloaded.
