Transit Company in Cancún Denies Student Discounts – Shocking Details!

In Cancún, student transportation scholarships are typically accepted by local transit services, known as combis. However, the Maya Caribe company has been refusing to honor these tickets.

Representatives from the Benito Juarez Student Federation have reported that for the past two years, Maya Caribe drivers have been forcing students to pay full fares. The company's refusal to accept tickets specifically designated for students with a grade average of 8 or higher is puzzling. These tickets should allow students to use the services of Turicún, Bonfil, Autocar, and theoretically, Maya Caribe.

Despite the company's continued indifference to the Federation and the student body, their complaints have largely gone unheard. Some students have reported that combi drivers have been returning their tickets and demanding cash payment for the past two years.

During the current school year, Autocar has issued over 600 transportation scholarships, making it the most supportive company of the Federation for nearly 20 years. However, their service routes have been reduced, as have those of Turicún.

Furthermore, there have been ongoing complaints about poor service from these companies. The combis are often overcrowded and travel at excessive speeds.

The scholarship program is designed to save students 370 pesos per month. They receive 40 tickets with a total recovery cost of 30 pesos. To qualify, students must maintain an average grade of 8 and provide proof of enrollment. Approximately 24,000 tickets are distributed each round to about 600 high-performing students.
