In Cancún, educational institutions and families are navigating various transportation challenges and regulatory requirements. 

Unicaribe is currently coordinating with mobility authorities to address the needs of its student body, noting that approximately 70 percent of students rely on public transit. Rector Xochilt Carmona Bareño highlighted concerns regarding service frequency and availability for evening students, specifically requesting extended hours for Route 11 and operational continuity for Routes 9 and 4x7 to ensure safety.

In a broader context regarding school mobility, families are utilizing the Private School Transportation Service. This service is regulated under the Mobility Law of the State of Quintana Roo and requires authorization from the Instituto de Movilidad del Estado de Quintana Roo (Imoveqroo). To ensure safety and efficiency, vehicles must undergo annual inspections and meet specific standards for hygiene and comfort.
