Dialogue Table with Taxi Drivers
The Dialogue Table with Taxi Drivers was convened by the Government of Costa Rica in response to protests from this sector, triggered by the growing presence of the company Uber in the country. The meeting was attended by representatives of the Ministries of Communication; Science and Technology; Transportation; Labor; Telecommunications and the Presidency. On the behalf of the cab drivers, representatives of the National Forum of Taxi Drivers and the National Federation of Taxi Cooperatives of Costa Rica participated. The roundtable reached a series of agreements, among which was the creation of mixed commissions to respond to the demands of cab drivers, and the prohibition of the use of Uber until its subsequent regulation.
