Travelers reached the airport in Mexico's tourist hot spot of Cancun without problem on Tuesday after a protest by local taxi drivers against ride-share app Uber left many stranded the day before.
Angry taxi drivers on Monday blocked the main road between Cancun's airport and central tourist zone, forcing tourists to trek on foot or ride on police trucks to catch their flights.Two airport representatives said there were no blockades or confrontations related to the taxis on Tuesday.drivers were exempt from having to obtain a permit, called a medallion, to operate, as taxi drivers are required to do. This effectively ended a years-long taxi monopoly in the region.
The events prompted an official alert from the U.S. State Department on Monday for the state of Quintana Roo, where Cancun and other tourist hot spots are located.
