Isabella Coronado Doria on Taxis vs. Ridesharing in Colombia | Policy Magazine
March 26, 2025 | MPP Isabella Coronado Doria wrote about the growing tensions between Uber and traditional taxis in Columbia. "In some ways, hindering Uber鈥檚 activity in Colombia is comparable to telling people to abandon the internet and go back to encyclopedias. It highlights the perpetual tension between the status quo and disruptive technology," writes Isabella.听
The taxi union does not trust that the Colombian government can develop a strategy that takes their interests and needs into account. Given the urgency of achieving regulation considering the rapid growth of artificial intelligence and generative technology, the government will need to devise ways to build trust with taxi unions quickly. The challenge for Colombia鈥檚 government is not just about regulating Uber but addressing the deeper economic anxieties fueling opposition to it.听
