Taxi drivers from Buenos Aires and Buenos Aires will march to La Plata to stop a plan to regulate Uber

what happened with
Uber more than 1000 kilometers from Buenos Aires has had an impact, especially in the taxi driver groups that
they reject the operation of the digital platform since their arrival in the country. Organized by the Civil Association Taxistas Unidos, the
called "Uber Hunting", today there will be a march to the headquarters of the Legislative Assembly of Buenos Aires, La Plata, where a deputy has presented a project to regulate the activity in the territory. Taxi drivers see their jobs threatened and fear that the law pbaded in Mendoza will have a chain effect. "We are dismayed, we did not think the regulation was going to be reached in Mendoza because it goes against the interests of taxi drivers, of all the workers," said the chief of
Civil Association Taxistas Unidos, Marcelo Boeri. "We will respect the representation that taxi drivers have in Mendoza, but we will suggest the unconstitutionality of the law," he added

today the call is scheduled to 8 in San Juan and Lima (Constitución) and it is expected Colonne arrives at the legislature of Buenos Aires at 11am. They will participate in addition to the Civil Association Taxistas Unidos, Cametax (both of the City of Buenos Aires), the Union of Taxis Owners of Vicente López, the National Union of Remiseros (Ucairra), l & rsquo; Association of Taxistas Platenses (ATP), Beriso Taxis Chamber and independent taxi drivers from Martínez, San Isidro, Avellaneda, La Matanza and Merlo. The project for the regulation of Uber is the de Mar del Plata de Cambiemos Deputy, Guillermo Castello.

The law adopted in Mendoza will not shake, at least for the moment,
the stage of Buenos Aires where Uber broke with strength and controversy. The city's transport secretary said the company "is considered a service company" and not "transport service through electronic platforms" as established by the Mendoza law. In other words, they said, Uber will accomplish in Mendoza what he does not want to accomplish in Buenos Aires.

"The activity of Uber in the terms that the company raises is not provided for in our law. Uber is not legal, this is not not a service company, but a transport company that transports people,
because it's Cabify that yes it fits the standards, "they expanded.

The relationship between Uber and the taxi drivers has never been good, but the most episodes the group led by Boeri, which a few weeks ago attracted attention when an audio with a
Juan José Méndez, secretary of transport and traffic of the city, denounced his strategy to denounce drivers, but does not support
badaults suffered by many of them who, in some cases, also involved the pbadengers. The saga also included painted cars and also burned.

Unidos Taxistas was launched in February 2016 almost simultaneously with the arrival of Uber in Buenos Aires. The first steps have not exceeded 50 taxi drivers, but in two years the badociation has added 1000 members.

Uber fighters have already made some 1,100 complaints contrary to the drivers of the platform. All members of Taxistas Unidos have a list of patents and vehicles that would be badociated with the platform; when they are detected, they communicate with each other and with the police.
