As startups and taxis build bridges, those feeling the pain most are ride-hailing drivers, who are wrestling with everything from police stops in Santiago to a strict quarantine in Bogota which reduced fares to a trickle. And the highly fragmented nature of the market will also work against the newcomers, according to a recent report by McKinsey. Uber operates in a legal gray area in Chile, with passengers sometimes masquerading as family or friends to dodge police. Didi, which has long partnered with taxis in China and began offering cab services soon after entering Chile and Colombia, said it has 50% of taxi drivers on its platform in the Chilean capital of Santiago and about two-thirds of drivers on board in the Colombian cities of Bogota and Medellin. It now operates in 10 cities and has partnerships with more than 10,000 restaurants.

Didi is best known for beating Uber at its own game in China. “Work has dropped close to 40 percent compared with before the pandemic,” said Guillermo Bravo, a cab driver in Bogota who said he had been invited to be part of a new Uber taxi service there.
