Um motorista de táxi de Cancún foi preso sob a acusação de extorsão após cobrar uma tarifa exorbitante de um turista canadense por uma corrida que durou apenas dois minutos.

Ao invés de utilizar o serviço de transfer gratuito oferecido pelo Aeroporto de Cancún, entre o terminal 4 e o terminal 3, o turista, natural de Montreal, optou por um táxi.

Segundo a imprensa local, o que o canadense não esperava era que a corrida, que em sua visão custaria cerca de 5 dólares, atingiria a quantia astronômica de 1.000 dólares, ou seja, valor 200 vezes maior do que o previsto.

Ao perceber a cobrança exorbitante, o turista se opôs. Contudo, o motorista do táxi, ao invés de solucionar o problema pacificamente, optou por tentar fugir com as bagagens do passageiro.

I was traveling to the airport going back to Montreal Canada at 2am Wednesday night / Thursday Morning the 18th of April 2024 when I got set up by the taxi company from the airport and the security at Terminal 3. They told me I could not stay there and need to pay another taxi ( from the airport! ) to go to Terminal 4 for 5$ which I did. I was alone with the 2 security and the only taxi available when they start pressuring me to pay via Credit card. I did not want to but I had no other choice and could walk between terminal they told me. After paying with my card and getting back in the Taxi for only 2 minute I Realized the payment that went on my card was over 1000$ . I was still in the car and the situation escalated at the Terminal 4 where I managed to get the attention of the touriste and traveler waiting for they flights. When the taxi saw the security he tried to escape with me and my luggage in the car but I manage to jump in the front of the car and shift the transmission on Park which almost result in a car accident.

Em resposta, o passageiro conseguiu reentrar no veículo e resgatar seus pertences. Ao solicitar a ajuda da segurança do aeroporto, o turista acredita que estes também estavam envolvidos no esquema fraudulento, já que se mostraram pouco prestativos. A situação só foi controlada quando a Polícia foi envolvida e efetuou a prisão do motorista do táxi.

A preocupação das autoridades se eleva ao considerar que histórias negativas como essa prejudicam a economia local, uma vez que Cancún é um destino turístico bastante popular. Diante disso, a Procuradoria Geral do Estado entrou com uma acusação formal contra o motorista por extorsão, enquanto as autoridades estaduais e federais garantem a realização de uma investigação para acabar com práticas fraudulentas como essa no aeroporto.

Ressalta-se que a preferência por táxi ao invés dos ônibus entre os terminais não é exclusiva de Cancún. Mesmo em aeroportos com diversos meios de conexão entre os terminais como o Aeroporto Heathrow, em Londres, passageiros frequentemente optam pelos táxis.

Cancún oferece um serviço de transfer gratuito entre os terminais a cada dez minutos. Contudo, nem sempre isso ocorre de forma eficiente, o que leva muitos a optarem pelo táxi. Essa decisão, porém, pode resultar em custos altos e inesperados, como ocorreu com o turista canadense.

Todo o caso foi exposto pelo passageiro no TikTok, ganhando grande repercussão. Os vídeos, divididos em cinco partes, podem ser visto ao longo desta publicação.
