'''Cuba''' is an island nation in the [[Caribbean]].
On '''Cuba''' people with a private car are required to pick up hitchhikers. This sounds good but actually less then 40% of the cars passing by are private cars and traffic in total is pretty low already. There are yellow police officers who stop cars and oblige the driver to give a lift to the people waiting on the street. Nevertheless the "amarillos" who are supposed to stop the car and ask the driver where he/she is going complain that less and less cars actually stop. However it's common to pay the driver.
