QUE SIGNIFICA "GUAGUA"

La palabra "guagua" que para los dominicanos y cubanos significa autobús, viene de Wa & Wa Co. Inc. (Washington, Walton, and Company Incorporated) que fue la primera fábrica estadounidense en exportar autobuses a Cuba donde se adoptó el nombre de “guagua”. El logo de Wa & Wa Co., Inc. era una liebre blanca azul y roja, colores de la bandera norteamericana.
