Cab drivers imposed a blockade at the accesses to the hotel zone of Cancun, Quintana Roo, in response to the entry of transportation by app in the region.

Cab drivers imposed a blockade at the accesses to the hotel zone of Cancun, Quintana Roo, causing hundreds of tourists and locals to have to walk several kilometers to reach the Cancun International Airport.

Along Boulevard Kukulkán, dozens of cab drivers crossed their vehicles to block access to the hotel zone in response to the entry of transportation by app in the region, as well as against the arrests of cab drivers who assaulted platform drivers.

Due to the blockade, hundreds of travelers were stranded at the Cancun Airport, and local police patrols helped the tourists to transport them.

“In light of the lane closures on Blvd. Kukulkan, officers helped people in the Hotel Zone to get to the airport. The roads have now been opened to traffic,” reported the local police.
