Vehicular chaos due to taxi driver demonstrations in Bogotá

Reasons for the protest

Taxi drivers have expressed their discontent with the competition they consider unfair from digital transportation platforms, such as Uber and Cabify, arguing that these platforms do not comply with the same regulations and requirements as traditional taxis, which generates an unfair advantage and affects its economic activity.

The authorities have called for calm and dialogue between taxi drivers and the competent authorities to seek a peaceful solution to the situation. Likewise, transportation alternatives have been recommended for users who are affected by congestion, such as the use of TransMilenio, Sitp or the informal public transportation service known as “chiva.” Civil agent units carry out detours in the area.

KM86 service returns to the Eldorado Portal

In the midst of the alterations to the public transportation service, it is reported that route KM86, which had been temporarily suspended, has returned to its usual operation in the Eldorado Portal.

Users of the public transport service are recommended to pay attention to the social networks and official channels of the transport entities to obtain updated information about the situation and possible changes to the routes. In addition, it is suggested to plan your travel time in advance and consider transportation alternatives if necessary.

The situation in the El Dorado Airport sector continues to be monitored by the authorities, who hope that the protest will develop peacefully and a prompt solution will be reached that benefits all parties involved.
