POLITICAECONOMICA161282022-03-28T09:16:33Z Challenges of the regulation of paid transportation of people through digital platforms in Costa Rica Retos de la regulación del transporte remunerado de personas por medio de las plataformas digitales en Costa Rica González, Yessica Espinoza Lorente, Sebastian Matarrita innovation technology public transportation regulation labor market innovación tecnológica transporte público regulación mercado laboral The objective of this article is to analyze the most important aspects of digital-transportation-platforms regulation in Costa Rica, as the sector needs to balance the participation of official taxis, consumers, platforms and drivers from those platforms. This work is descriptive, and it was done under a qualitative basis. The main finding was that, even though those platforms were introduced more than 5 years ago, remaining work is left in terms of quality, pricing and labor conditions. Conciliation between key groups, an upgrade in the pricing system from official taxis and quality adjustments in the sector are part of the recommendations aiming to solve the present issues. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar los distintos aspectos que son importantes de regular en las plataformas digitales de transporte remunerado de personas en Costa Rica, con el fin de garantizar un equilibrio entre taxis autorizados, consumidores, las plataformas tecnológicas y los trabajadores de estas plataformas. La investigación es descriptiva con enfoque cualitativo. El principal hallazgo de la investigación es que, a pesar de que desde hace más de un quinquenio se introdujeron las plataformas digitales en el país, los avances en temas de regulación de calidad, precios y condiciones laborales son nulos, y muchos los retos que resolver. Conciliación entre los grupos de presión, modernización de las tarifas actuales del sector de taxis autorizados, regular aspectos de calidad son algunas de las recomendaciones para subsanar la situación actual.
