World1 source1 country🔦 Under-reportedjust now
The Colombian national government has issued Decree 1001 of 2026, enacting a reform of the taxi service overseen by the Ministry of Transportation. The regulation introduces several changes, including extending key administrative procedures to a two-year timeframe, eliminating unauthorized fees, and permitting operations without the traditional Planilla Única de Viaje Ocasional.
In a separate development, the Agencia Nacional de Puertos y Navegación officially enacted a temporary 20 percent reduction in maximum pilotage and towage rates. This adjustment formed part of an agreement reached with the maritime sector to resolve a port strike that occurred earlier in the week.
