Emboldened by a court ruling in their favor, taxi driver groups have said they will now go after similar apps like Didi, Cabify and Beat, stymieing those drivers who have switched platforms ahead of Uber’s closure. “The lack of adequate regulation obviously has an impact on every level, it impacts the users and those trying to work, as well as current and potential investors,” said Alberto Sleshinger, economist and dean at the Sergio Arboleda University. “We are lagging behind.”

Acosta, an architect and technology entrepreneur, has collected more than half a million signatures through the platform Change.org, which she hopes will persuade the government to provisionally halt the ruling.
