Inminente alza de tarifas del ferry.. [+] Ver masFull article at this link
Despite the price of diesel fuel increasing 20 percent, the company that provides ferry transportation for vehicles and cargo, Maritima Isla Mujeres, has not announced a hike in prices. However, this is expected to occur, since it is believed they cannot withstand the high fuel costs, and they have maintained the same rates since November 1, 2014, when they were increased 9 percent.
Their rates are as follows:
Compact cars up to 4 meters in length, 292 pesos; Cars / suburban / pick ups / family vehicles, up to 6 meters, $ 478; Minibus, up to 6.5, $ 624; Three-ton truck, up to 6.5, $ 760; dump trucks, up to 9, $ 807; Rabon (?), up to 9 meters, $ 964; Trotton (?), tandem and buses, up to 10 meters, $ 1,108; LP gas / fuel trucks, $ 1,891; Vehicles with 4 axles, up to 15 meters, $ 1,254; 5-axis trailer, $ 1,394; 6-axle trailer, up to 20 meters, $ 1,784; And 6-axis fuel truck, up to 23 meters, $ 3,508.Bicycle at 99 pesos crossing; Bicycle to 93; And passenger to 40.

Crime prevention program in La Gloria
Programa de prevención del delito en La Gloria[+] Ver masFull article at this link
The police department will begin a dialogue with the residents of La Gloria in Tuesday, which will continue throughout January, with talks about crime prevention with parents, according to Tania Galera, who is responsible for the program. The first meeting will be at 5:30 in a private home, near the Senior Citizen's dome in La Gloria, and dozens of residents of the area are expected to attend.
The department had a meeting with youths two months ago, and this program hopes to contain growing crime on the island. The program will take place in La Gloria in January and then will move to other parts of the island, while also addressing this issue in the Continental Zone on the mainland.
They will try to organize people, to maintain communication with representatives of different blocks, and to be able to activate crime prevention programs and maintain the security of families. Residents have been asking to have frank dialogues with authorities, and it was over a year ago when a meeting was held with parents, following a clash between two groups of youths at the Salina Grande walkway.
Creating a structure of partners in security would be indispensable to deal with the current delicate situation, when in reality there are many youths involved with drug addiction, and some are said to be dealing.
This announcement comes within the framework of Day of the Police, and some officers are assigned to visit houses to offer an invitation to attend the meeting on Tuesday.
