Cancún, Quintana Roo — With the implementation of the Quintanarroense Welfare Mobility System (Mobi), public transport concessionaires operating collective combis will have to adapt their units to requirements in technology, safety, and service quality improvement to join this system.
Rubén Carrillo Buenfil, local deputy of the XVIII Legislature of the Quintana Roo State Congress and general secretary of the “Andrés Quintana Roo” taxi union in Cancún, acknowledged that mobility in the state requires restructuring in accordance with modernity.
According to authorities from the Quintana Roo State Government, in its first stage (2025–2027), Mobi will begin with an integrated bus network in Chetumal, Cancún, Isla Mujeres, and Playa del Carmen, with direct impact on 1,501,637 inhabitants.
The local deputy referred to the adaptations of combis in Cancún and other Quintana Roo cities as an obligation to gradually consolidate the implementation of Mobi, otherwise they risk extinction.
He specified that, contrary to rumors of the immediate disappearance of combis, this is a system where everyone integrates, but with the commitment to orderly, modern, safe transport with a better image before citizens and tourism.
He added that authorization of an adjustment to public transport fares in Quintana Roo by the Quintana Roo State Mobility Institute (Imoveqroo) is what concessionaires expect to obtain better income and advance toward modernization and adaptation of their units.
In Chetumal, according to an Imoveqroo study, combi transport service only operates on seven of ten established routes.
This transport service is provided on the routes:
- Calderitas,
- Forjadores (Bugambilias),
- Forjadores (San Francisco),
- Oxtankah,
- Proterritorio-Caribe, and
- Solidaridad;
but without the number of units established in the original coverage of public collective transport service in the state capital, and the routes without this service are Del Bosque, Las Américas, and Payo Obispo.
