Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo — Mototaxis continue to operate outside their designated zones in Playa del Carmen, with some drivers straying onto roads that are not part of the areas authorized for this mode of transport.
Residents and riders are questioning the lack of oversight as the vehicles move through neighborhoods and streets outside their approved routes. The situation highlights ongoing difficulties in keeping the service within established boundaries.
The problem goes beyond route violations. The presence of mototaxis outside permitted areas also raises concerns about safety conditions and the level of control over those providing the service.
Some drivers are expanding their routes to pick up more passengers, pushing restrictions on where they can operate into the background. The practice continues despite existing regulations.
The failure to respect designated limits has left the conflict unresolved and underscores the need to enforce order before the expansion of mototaxi routes creates greater risks for passengers, pedestrians, and other drivers.
