Mexican and Argentine cities impose new taxi and ride‑hailing regulations

In Tulum, Mexico, the local taxi union announced plans to display official fare tables inside cabs and at key public points such as the bus terminal and supermarket entrances. The proposal, which still requires permission from the municipal council, aims to end unpredictable pricing and curb unlicensed competition.

In Bariloche, Argentina, Mayor Walter Cortés signed a regulation that creates a public registry for vehicles and drivers operating through digital platforms such as Uber and DiDi. The rule, REVECOPP, mandates digital registration, proof of local residence, a valid D1‑class licence and recent background checks.

The municipality of Luján, together with the Buenos Aires provincial transport ministry, distributed 350 new Multimodal Free Passes to people with disabilities, transplant recipients and those on transplant waiting lists, guaranteeing free access to all provincial public‑transport services.

Leandro N. Alem, Argentina, opened the tender process for a new urban passenger‑transport concession. TALA SRL submitted the sole bid, which will now undergo technical and legal review before a possible award.

In Mexico’s capital, the Institute of Mobility (IMOS) announced coordinated operations to inspect and regularise “pirate” ride‑hailing taxis, offering QR‑based registration and warning of fines and vehicle towing for non‑compliance.

Tamaulipas authorities began a crane‑removal operation against platform vehicles lacking a current operator card, imposing higher fines, allowing split‑payment of fees and emphasizing safety for passengers.
