This paper combines three perspectives: one from the academic field, one from a regulatory agency and one from an experience within Buenos Aires city government.11 First, we will introduce the role of taxis within Buenos Aires mobility system. Then, we will show how laws of supply and demand play in this particular situation, with its advantages and disadvantages. Next, we will explain how tensions after the economic crises of 2001/2002 opened opportunities for innovation. We’ll also discuss some pending issues related to regulations, the need of academic studies and a more effective control system, as well as the convenience of including the taxi in future policies.
