### Extended Deadline for Ride-Hailing Drivers Registration
Tijuana, Baja California – Transportation Network Company (TNC) drivers in Tijuana have been granted an extension to register with the state administration until December 31 of this year. This extension allows drivers more time to complete the necessary registration processes and benefit from a 50% discount on registration fees. The original deadline was set for August 31, but the new decree offers additional time for drivers and vehicle owners to comply.
This extension applies specifically to physical persons who meet the requirements for driver and vehicle registration as outlined in the Official Gazette of Baja California. The registration process includes the issuance of identification for operators, vehicle stickers, and vehicle authorization.
Despite the extended deadline, many drivers have reported prolonged wait times, taking more than six hours to complete their registrations. The extension is an effort to make the process more manageable and ensure compliance among drivers.
### Secondary Article: Ride-Hailing Regulations and Challenges in Tijuana
Tijuana, Baja California – Ride-hailing services such as Uber continue to face regulatory challenges in Tijuana. Recently, drivers have experienced significant delays in the registration process, with some waiting upwards of six hours to complete their paperwork. Furthermore, Uber drivers are still unable to operate in certain areas, such as the Tijuana airport, due to regulatory restrictions.
Several drivers have also stopped operating after failing to meet the state’s registration requirements. This has led to a reduction in available ride-hailing drivers in the area, impacting the convenience and availability of these services for residents and visitors alike.
Local authorities are seeking to address these issues by providing more training for municipal police officers and increasing the number of police officers to enforce the new regulations. Additionally, efforts are underway to find solutions for the trans community, who have reported feeling at risk due to the heightened visibility and aggression they face.
