Progreso (Mexico) pier shuttle

[suebee53]

Has anyone successfully used the Progreso pier shuttle with a travel scooter? I'm hoping to be able to get some help lifting my Pride Go-Go up into the bus, but I don't know if they even have room to stow something that's almost 40" long.

 

I'd appreciate any input. Thanks!

Having just returned today, in case anyone else has this question, here's the scoop:

 

Forget using a scooter on the shuttle buses. It won't work.

 

What did work, though, was bringing a collapsible wheelchair, which they loaded first on one trip and last on the other.

 

It's also possible to pay for a taxi, if your scooter can break down into small enough parts to fit in the trunk of a very small cab, but I wouldn't count on it.

 

My friend and I took the shuttle into Progreso, she pushed me in the chair to the beach, and I was able to walk (with her assistance) on the sand. If you can't walk in sand. . . don't do the beach at Progreso.

Forget the shuttle. They were very clear on our ship that no way will they help load a scooter onto the shuttle. A lightweight wheelchair is OK, but not a scooter.
