El Camello, a split-level bus pulled by a semi-truck, and resembling a 2 humped camel picking up passengers, Havana, Cuba


Fused together from two Soviet-era buses and pulled by a separate semi truck cab, Camellos were largely a response to the fuel shortages and economic crisis experienced by Cuba in the 1990s as the Soviet Union collapsed. During peak times, a single Camello could carry a maximum of 400 people.
