In a scene that may seem bizarre but is not entirely surprising, a Cuban man boarded a P1 bus in Havana this Friday through the rear door, carrying what appeared to be large sacks of herbs.
"This happened on a P-1 bus, at 31 and 10, Miramar, Playa, Havana, Cuba, at 3:00 PM today, Friday, September 6, 2024," wrote Juan Manuel Montoto on Facebook, who documented the event with several photos. "What do you think? It's a reflection of society's decadence; there is no respect for anything anymore," added the witness in his post.
The incident garnered a range of reactions: "Where did that man come from?"; "What a lack of respect!"; "It's so surreal it doesn't deserve a serious opinion"; "Seriously? I can't believe it!" were some of the comments on the spectacle.
Many questioned how the driver and passengers allowed this to happen. The images show the man pushing the massive package into the bus through one of the doors designated for exiting. However, for many, it is evident that the man must have paid the driver to allow such a thing.
"My friend Montoto, didn't anyone ask the driver how much that citizen paid to allow such a barbarity? This is the new norm... everything has a price! Just like it has a price to stay on the bus at the last stop at the expense of those who have been waiting in line for hours... and so on. Brother, we're lost in this jungle!" commented one user.
"It's yet another reflection of the societal decay and the disrespect for everything and everyone in Cuban society," another commenter concluded.
