AB The present potential analysis for the reactivation of the railway of the sugar company Hershey deals with the evaluation of economic data, population statistics and rail transport infrastructures of the Cuban provinces of La Habana del Este, Mayabeque and Matanzas. Economic and socio-structural interdependencies can reveal potential for the development of a railway system in Cuba after rail traffic came to an almost complete standstill in 2018. However, the country is insisting on increasing demand through sustainable tourism. Even with increasing urbanization, the search for reliable transportation options has become greater. Project outlines are intended to examine all route relations of the Hershey Railway on the basis of various transport economic criteria, which also include population statistics and the rail transport infrastructures in Cuba.
