Bogota Mobility Secretary Juan Pablo Bocarejo announced that by the end of 2017, the first luxury taxis will be rolled out in Bogota, gradually replacing the traditional yellow taxis.
“These luxury taxis look like blindfolds to deceive the user and a treat to satisfy an old-fashioned monopoly that is accustomed to setting the rules for the transport sector, and has done with the Ministry of Transport whatever it has wanted,” warned Mr. Sarasti.
