Cuba’s fuel rationing is driving some commuters to an underwater bus

Summary: Cuba is facing a massive fuel crisis. New rules mean drivers can only get 5 gallons of gas at a time. Now, Havana's streets are empty of cars but packed with bikes and scooters. To cross the bay, commuters are riding the "Ciclobús." It is a special bus that carries people and their bikes through an underwater tunnel. The ride takes 15 minutes and costs almost nothing. Without it, people would have to bike 10 miles in the sweltering heat. This bus was first used in the 1990s, but it is saving the day once again.
