Ever see or wonder about those huge camel buses ('camellos') that ply the streets of Havana, Cuba?

In this video, you are going to learn the history of the camel buses, when and why they came into being, who created it and why it looks the way it does.

We will also take a look at two attempts by the Cubans to build a subway system in Havana. The first attempt was in the 1920s, and the second attempt was in the 1980s. There's also evidence that subway constuction was well underway in the 1980s, but abruptly stopped.

Let's take a ride on a camel bus!
