Taxi drivers even blocked one of the main roads leading to the hotel district in the resort city of Cancun Monday. That forced some tourists to walk or catch rides in police pickups to get their flights out, or check-in.

The State Department advised travelers that "past disputes between these services and local taxi unions have occasionally turned violent, resulting in injuries to U.S. citizens in some instances."

  1. Y la gobernadora que también tiene taxis,,,nada más se rasca el ombligo,,,que vergüenza para México 🇲🇽

  2. Seems like these ignorant taxi drivers need to either lower their prices for a taxi cab or switch to ride-share also. You can’t make people take a taxi if there are other travel options in which they prefer.

  3. Despite the economic downturn,I’m so happy☺️, I have been earning $23,000 returns from my $6,900 investment every 14days.

    1. I’m so happy for taking the bold step in investing a little start up capital with after a week I received my profits to my bank

  4. The market will be very favourable now due to the rapid growth of Bitcoin which is $21k, The rich won’t disclose it so don’t be fooled, it’s right time to invest, this is still new year there will be a massive income to those that invest this new year 💰
