A woman exits a U.S.-made car, used as a private collective taxi during a heavy thunderstorm in Havana September 30, 2013. Collective taxis, also known as "almendron" (big nutshell), have established routes around or near Havana, picking up and dropping off passengers along the way. The price of a journey in these taxis ranges from $0.50 for a ride within the city to $1 for a 30km (18.7 mile) ride to the outskirts of Havana.
