The announcement about the arrival of Uber transportation to the province of San Luis generated discomfort among taxi drivers, who see their source of work threatened, and mobilized community officials and councilors of the capital city to address the issue and clarify the operational situation of the company. The Secretary of the Municipal Government, Andrés Russo, clarified that Uber “has not requested authorization to operate in the city and does not comply with the requirements demanded by the ordinance that regulates taxis and contracted services for the transportation of passengers” and said that any person who performing this type of activity is “outside the regulations”. For his part, the Secretary of Transportation and Municipal Citizen Security, Facundo García, clarified that “both the contracted service and the taxi service have their respective ordinances detailing their operation” and the documentation that must be completed and that the municipality does not received no formal request for authorization. Meanwhile, in the capital's Deliberative Council, a report from the Transportation Commission was presented this Thursday, where it was pointed out that according to current legislation, the only ones authorized to transport passengers in the city of San Luis are taxis and Transpuntano, the rest They are "illegal". In the communal deliberative body it was pointed out that current legislation does not allow it and a proposal to raise the fine for those who illegally transport passengers to more than one million pesos took legislative status. The fine is governed by Municipal Monetary Units (UMM) and the intention of the Taxi Association is to bring it from the current 160 to 64,000 UMM. The value of the UMM is almost 16 pesos and the fine would jump from just over 2,500 pesos to more than one million.
