Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo — The Quintana Roo Mobility Institute (IMOVEQROO) has authorized 600 mototaxis to operate in the municipality of Puerto Aventuras, with between 200 and 250 vehicles designated for the Villas del Sol and La Guadalupana neighborhoods.
David Armín Cosgaya Mena, IMOVEQROO’s delegate in Playa del Carmen, announced the figures as part of a broader regularization effort for mototaxis operating in the area. He said officials are working with municipal authorities to define the specific zones where the vehicles can operate, confirming that in Villas del Sol, mototaxis will no longer be allowed to use the extension of Avenida Colosio that leads to the El Tintal toll road.
Cosgaya Mena added that the licensing process is underway and that each unit will be registered to only one operator.
The official said fare rates will be published in the state’s official gazette, and operators will be required to display them visibly in their vehicles.
Regarding the Cristo Rey community in Nuevo Noh Bec, Cosgaya Mena said details are still being finalized but that service regularization will go ahead. He reiterated the call for all mototaxis to comply with licensing requirements, warning that there will be no tolerance for unregistered vehicles.
