There has been fuel shortages here in Haiti causing some short tempers at the service stations. This is a photo of just one of the line ups. Most of these bikes are taxi's and without fuel they are not able to make any money. I haven't heard from anyone from other parts of Haiti but I am sure it is like this all over the country. Some have waited for hours to get a gallon of gasoline.
