agru Posted September 5, 2008 #1 Share Posted September 5, 2008 We are planning to get together with a friend when we stop in Progreso for the day in December. I'm wondering if anyone knows the logistics of the pier. Are private cars allowed in the area for pickups? If not, what are our options for meeting each other? Thanks to everyone in advance!

hdawson Posted September 5, 2008 #2 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Meet at the Cultural Center where the courtesy bus will drop you, or at Le Saint Bonnet restaurant. The 4 1/2 mile long pier is for freight making it's way to and from ships. No private vehicles or taxis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were lots of taxis last spring when I was there (especially right before the ship was to depart!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mexboat Posted September 12, 2008 #4 Share Posted September 12, 2008 There were lots of taxis last spring when I was there (especially right before the ship was to depart!) The entrance for vehicles at the federal pier is controlled from the main entrance, and some other search stops. Taxis certainly are allowed to get up the pier but ONLY with identified passengers from the ship (s) docked. The best and fastes way is meeting at the cultural center where the shuttle bus stops.

I agree that the cultural center is the best place to meet, but there are taxis available both from the dock to town ($6) and from town to the dock. I was commenting on the previous post inidcating that taxis are not allowed on the pier in case anyone is interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
