Authorities in Mexico and Argentina have implemented enforcement operations to address irregularities in public transportation. In Mexico, operations in Poza Rica targeted vehicles providing services via mobile applications without legal concessions, an action ordered by Governor Rocío Nahle García to combat irregular transport. In Argentina, municipal and SUTRAPA inspectors in San Miguel de Tucumán seized three vehicles with tampered taximeters following passenger complaints regarding overcharging.

Subsequent supervisory operations in Papantla, Veracruz, involved state and federal authorities, including the State Public Transport Delegation and the Secretariat of Public Security. These inspections focused on verifying driver documentation, permits, insurance, and the mechanical safety of taxi units to ensure compliance with regional transportation regulations.
