The measure was made official last Tuesday through the Resolution No. 57/2024 and the decree 883/2024. In turn, it was driven by the Ministry of Transportation and the Ministry of Deregulation and Transformation of the State.
For the Government, the same search open the market by removing restrictions and requirements for those who are transport service providers.
In response, the National Federation of Taxi Drivers and the National Federation of Taxi Workers (FEPETAX) made its opposition explicit, questioning the initiative for harming the passenger guaranteesand also for the strong economic impact and social that I could have.
The word of the authorities against the measure of Javier Milei’s government
Jose Ibarrapresident of the National Federation of Taxi Drivers, was the one who took the lead against the rule, describing it as a “craziness”. Thus, he explained that deregulation “puts passengers in danger because allows that untrained drivers nor controlled vehicles can operate“.
“This not only makes the transporter’s job precariousbut also puts the physical integrity of users at risk. “We are talking about enabling services without insurance or adequate technical reviews,” he expressed in a tone of strong criticism.
Then, he added: “The Government says that it seeks to modernize the country, but makes decisions that seem straight out of a third world manual. This ends up harming both workers and passengers.”
On the other hand, Jorge Garciaowner of FEPETAX, announced that The union is in a state of alert and mobilizationand consider the presentation of judicial resources to declare the published resolution unconstitutional.
On that path, García warned: “This measure opens a Pandora’s box, because irregularities will be the order of the day. “Passengers will have more problems than solutions with untrained drivers and vehicles that do not meet minimum safety requirements.”
“Behind this measure we seek camouflage the creation of precarious employment under the figure of entrepreneursin a complicated work context,” said the leader.
According to this union, more than 200,000 workers They were fired so far in Javier Milei’s government. That is, only in the span of one year.
Likewise, they announced that in addition to resorting to Justice, they do not rule out carry out forceful measures to make visible the consequences of this policysuch as mobilizations and strikes.

The measure regulates the deregulation processes of long- and medium-distance automotive passenger transport, as well as free supply contemplated in the decrees 883/2024 and 830/2024 respectivelywith central modifications that will provide improvements to the sector.
“A regime that is more than 30 years old is modernized with a closed system, rigid permits and excessive bureaucracymoving to a simple, declarative, free, digital system that maintains current technical and safety standards,” reported the Government from the Transportation portfolio.
For his part, the Minister of Deregulation and Transformation of the State, Federico Sturzeneggercelebrated the measure through its official X account: “To those who have large or small vehicles (with insurance and approved vehicle inspection), we invite you to become passenger transportation providers. Decree 883/24 had freed transit interjurisdictional as well as airport connections, giving absolute freedom to operate, choose vehicles, schedules and routes”.
From now on, the Carriers will register online and free of charge through the Trámites a Distancia (TAD) web platform.where they must provide relevant and updated information on the services.
