According to the municipality, only about 13,000 of the 30,000 cars currently working for apps meet the maximum age limit of 10 years set by the new ordinance. This means that more than half of the currently active vehicles will be excluded from the initial authorization. The measure seeks to organize the system and ensure uniform technical conditions among all service providers.
The number was announced during a meeting of the Public Services Commission of the City Council, which was attended by officials and council members from different parties. In that meeting, the Secretary of Smart City and Digital Transformation, Ignacio Gei, presented the details of the official platform that will manage the single registry of applications. According to his explanation, the new scheme will allow for automatic monitoring of current documentation and licenses.
The system includes a natural filtering process, since only cars that meet the required age and documentation will be able to operate. Unlike other models, there will be no fixed quotas, but compliance with the requirements will determine who can continue. It is expected that most drivers who work occasionally will be excluded from the authorization for not meeting the required paperwork or technical condition.
Start of digital registration
Ignacio Gei reported that the platform is in its final phase and that registration will begin in the first days of November. "It will be the first fully digital system to be implemented by the municipality," the official emphasized. "The entire process will be done online, without paperwork, ensuring a safe, modern and transparent procedure," he added when presenting the tool to the council members.
