Lack of bus service
Secuestrados locales y turistas [+] Ver mas Photo & full article at this link
The bus service was discontinued last year, without warning, and the fifteen year concession granted by the City expired on May 16 of this year. The bus company does not appear to be interested in renewing the concession, and meanwhile residents who lack their own transportation are forced to use taxis, which impacts their economic situation considerably, especially if they must take several taxis daily. This becomes especially difficult during high season when the island is full of visitors, because taxi drivers prefer tourist dollars, and will pass by local residents to pick up foreigners a few meters away. Lucia Soto, who has lived in Isla Mujeres for nearly 20 years said, "A few months ago a taxista wanted to charge me 50 pesos because he saw me with a suitcase and assumed I was a tourist."
Sr. Rogelio Can, who regularly uses public transportation, said that his pension will not cover enough to eat and he has chronic illnesses which require him to go to the Cancun General Hospital for treatment. He said, "They give me tickets for the ferry, so that is not a problem, and the Combi (public bus-vans) in Cancun is a total of 16 pesos and drops me right by the Hospital, which of course makes a big difference. But I don't understand why it is that on the island, we must pay 15 pesos every time we need to go anywhere."
Sculpture park in poor condition
Lamentable estado del parque escultórico.. [+] Ver mas Photo & full article at this link
The artwork at the Sculpture Park at Punta Sur has suffered from corrosion and rust due to the salt air, although it is reported that the 30 pesos or 3 dollar admittance fee is supposed to be used for maintenance.
The Park was inaugurated in December 2001, with 23 sculptures of modern art donated by national and international artists. These include Sebastián, who came up with the idea, Mario Rendón, Silvia Arana, José Luis Cuevas, Vicente Rojo and Pedro Cervantes, as well as Sverir Olaffson, of Iceland ; José Villa Soberón, Cuba; Ahmed Nawar, Egypt; Bruce Beasly, US; Dimitar Lukanov, Bulgaria and Moncho Amigo, of Spain, among others.
It is reported that comprehensive maintenance was last done to the sculptures in November 2006
