HAVANA — Cuba says it will lift a nine-year ban on new private taxis, approving a dash of private enterprise on the communist-run island and potentially legalizing thousands of unauthorized cabbies who cruise its cities in classic American cars.
The move by new President Raul Castro appears to be a break with the policies of his brother Fidel, who often made clear his dislike of even the legal private cabs, which he saw as a necessary evil to improve transportation.
