Córdoba Council Hears Ride-Hailing Firms Reject 4,000-Vehicle Cap

After platforms warned the 4,000-vehicle cap would shrink service, consultations resume with drivers seeking firm limits on app fleets

Overview

  • On July 29, the City Council’s Public Services Committee convened for the first time with Uber, DiDi and Cabify to discuss the stalled draft ordinance
  • Representatives from each platform formally rejected the proposed 4,000-vehicle quota, warning it would reduce coverage in outlying neighborhoods and sideline thousands of drivers
  • Taxi and remise drivers demonstrated outside municipal buildings demanding firm quotas to protect traditional operators from growing app-based competition
  • Mayor Federico Susbielles’s regulatory proposal submitted in April and enabling bills from libertarian councilors Martín Barrionuevo and Carlos Alonso remain in committee with no vote scheduled
  • With no definitive timeline set for a decision, Córdoba’s effort to balance innovation and established transport structures remains in limbo
