MOBI Route 27 in Cancún Ends Free Service Monday as Paid Fares Begin Tuesday

Cancún, Quintana Roo — Monday, Sept. 28, marks the final day of free travel on MOBI’s Route 27 Kilómetro Cero in Cancún. Fares will be charged starting Tuesday, Sept. 29.

The route links Cielo Nuevo with the Hotel Zone, with service running to Kilometer Zero, and forms part of the latest expansion phase of Cancún’s MOBI public transit system.

With the free period ending, passengers have four ways to pay for their trips, including digital options, physical cards and bank cards.

The Four Payment Options

• MOBI App: Riders generate an electronic ticket, or e-ticket, on their cellphone. Access is validated with a QR code when boarding, and users can top up their balance directly through the app.
• MOBI General Fare Card: A rechargeable plastic card that is tapped on the reader installed on the bus. The system automatically deducts the corresponding amount from the available balance.
• MOBI Social Fare Card: Aimed at students, older adults and people with disabilities. Students and seniors pay a preferential fare, while people with disabilities ride free.
• Contactless bank card: Passengers can tap a credit or debit card enabled with contactless technology on the validator aboard the bus, without needing to buy a MOBI card beforehand.

Physical MOBI cards can be purchased at participating outlets including OXXO, 7-Eleven, Dunosusa and GoMart. Top-ups are also available at SIX and Súper Willys, in addition to those stores.

The four payment methods form part of the system implemented for the 27 Puente Nichupté and 27 Kilómetro Cero routes.

Riders who have not yet tried the Route 27 Cancún service have until Monday, Sept. 28, to take advantage of free travel. From Tuesday, Sept. 29, one of the available payment methods will be required to make the trip.
