The debate continues between the taxi driver unions and those who defend the platforms.

After the taxi drivers’ strike on February 22, the unions reached agreements with Mintransporte.

In recent weeks, the disagreement of some taxi drivers throughout the national territory is that the regulation of transport platforms such as Uber or Didi, It has always been one of the points requested by the unions.

On February 22, a national strike was calledbut it was lifted in Bogotá a few hours after it started, because several union leaders assured that there were no guarantees to continue with their mobilizations.

Now, one of the most frequent doubts has to do with the income that a taxi driver can have compared to one who works in other platforms with your private vehicle.

More news: Why did the meeting between the taxi drivers and the Government only appear for 20 minutes?

The exercise was carried out by the newspaper La República and there the income of workers who have an average of 15 daily trips.

It was possible to determine that although the taxis have more income, with almost $220,000 a day, they must pay a fee that varies between $90,000 and $106,000 depending on the limit set by the owner of the vehicle, to this is added the fuel that is generally of $50,000 for what only remains $60,000 profit.

On the contrary, a driver who works with the Uber platform, under the Black profile, can earn $200,000 daily, to which $50,000 of fuel can be reinstated. So your profit would be $150,000 pesos.
