Following the arrival of PHV platform operators, which have disrupted the individual private transport sector, an acrimonious conflict has broken out with the taxi sector. Two laws were enacted between 2014 and 2016 in an attempt to better regulate the market and competition. Following this, relationships between PHV drivers and the technology platforms began to break down. However successive governments have opted for minimal legislative intervention in this area, by developing non-mandatory legal regulations such as charters, a decision that the Constitutional Council challenged in 2019.
