Cancún’s MOBI System to Pilot New ‘Kilometer 0’ Route in Mid-August

Cancún, Quintana Roo — The Quintana Roo Mobility Institute (IMOVEQROO) will launch a pilot run of the new “Kilometer 0” bus route in mid-August, expanding the state’s MOBI public transit system, the agency’s director announced.

Director Rafael Hernández Kotasek said the route will be the system’s second test line, following the conclusion of the pilot phase for Route 27 over the Puente Nichupté. He added that a third route is scheduled to begin operation in early September along Avenida Cancún, with a connection to Avenida Kabah.

The new route will provide an additional way to reach the Hotel Zone, letting riders choose between the traditional Kilometer 0 access point or the new Nichupté Bridge. The aim is to strengthen connectivity along Cancún’s main tourist corridor.

The round-trip route spans 67 kilometers with service every 11 minutes. Officials say it will benefit 173 neighborhoods, an estimated 159,449 residents, more than 60,000 homes, 5,276 businesses and 104 schools.

According to Hernández Kotasek, one of the main benefits will be a reduction of 20 to 50 minutes in travel times for people commuting daily to the Hotel Zone.

With the gradual introduction of these routes, Cancún joins Othón P. Blanco as one of the first municipalities in Quintana Roo to adopt the MOBI system, which is designed to improve efficiency, safety and connectivity in urban mobility.
