Quintana Roo Moves to Revoke Tulum Taxi Driver’s License and Concession Over Assault

Tulum, Quintana Roo — The Quintana Roo Mobility Institute (IMOVEQROO) has opened an administrative proceeding against Fredy Renán Gamboa Acosta, a member of the “Tiburones del Caribe” taxi union and holder of concession 805, over his alleged role in assaults reported on public transport in Tulum.

State officials said the institute will pursue the maximum legal penalties against the operator, including the definitive revocation of his concession and the cancellation of his license to provide public transport service.

Proceeding Follows Reported Assaults

According to an official statement, the case was opened after assaults were reported in Tulum in which the driver is accused of taking part.

The institute said any sanctions will be decided with full respect for due process, meaning the opening of the administrative proceeding does not by itself constitute a final ruling on the driver’s responsibility.

Officials said the decision was communicated to the leadership of the taxi union, which expressed its support for the institutional actions taken by the mobility authority.

Officials Vow to Protect Passengers

IMOVEQROO said providing public transport service is a responsibility to the public, and that assault and intimidation are incompatible with that role.

The agency said it will act firmly against such behavior without exception, within its powers as the body responsible for regulating and overseeing mobility in Quintana Roo, and reiterated its duty to ensure that passengers travel under safe conditions and are treated with dignity.
