Uber Approved in Quintana Roo

[JFS]

Uber has been approved to operate in Quintana Roo. Tomorrow the taxis will be protesting. Will be curious to see how the uber drivers will be targetted by the taxi unions....

Uber gana amparo en QRoo; podrá operar sin concesión en el estado

Tras el fallo de Tercer Tribunal Colegiado con sede en Cancún, el servicio podrá operar con libertad en toda la entidad.

They will use the uber app and wait until the car comes....

I believe Uber works in Merida, in the neighboring state of Yucatan. QRoo was just dragging their feet.

Hiway 307 may suffer blocks, along with Melgar.

Wonder if there will be any issue catching an Uber from the Cozumel airport?

Since they don't let taxis pickup at the airport I doubt they will let Ubers do so.

Civilians are allowed to pickup at the airport, and Uber cars are unmarked.

...or an agreement may have been reached that satisfies the taxistas. Time will tell.
