Uber is the paradigm of network transportation companies. Its disruptive business model has generated conflicts with taxi drivers that have been resolved with regulatory changes to existing legal entities, the VTC. These modifications are patches that have not solved the legal problems that have arisen in regulatory, competition and labor matters. A specific regulation of the network transport companies is necessary to solve the problems generated by this new business model.
