Law changed but taxis still cannot operate as TVDE

Observador14 September 2026 at 17:51

The law that allows taxis to operate through electronic TVDE platforms entered into force on September 1st, but its practical application has not yet been possible. The necessary regulation for taxi drivers to join these platforms remains undefined, which means that, for now, passengers cannot book taxis through applications like those used for private transport services.

Taxi drivers have expressed interest in joining these platforms, hoping to compete more equally with traditional TVDE companies. However, the absence of specific rules prevents the process from moving forward, leaving sector professionals in a situation of uncertainty.

Passengers will be able to refuse the option of being transported by taxis when using these platforms, maintaining freedom of choice. This possibility was included in the legislation to ensure that users are not forced to accept taxi rides if they so wish.

Why this matters

Taxi drivers in the region are prevented from expanding their business to digital platforms while the regulation is not published. Passengers may have more transport options, but also the possibility of refusing taxis that operate as TVDE. The situation results from a recent legislative change that promised to modernize the transport sector.

BRB removes former executives after Banco Master investigation

The Bank of Brasília (BRB) removed two former directors and three former superintendents suspected of involvement in irregularities in business dealings with Banco Master. Although they were removed from their positions at the end of last year, they continued working at branches because they are tenured civil servants, but now they also stop acting in these functions. The removal resulted from the opening of an administrative disciplinary proceeding (PAD) authorized by the Board of Directors three weeks ago. BRB bought R$ 21.9 billion in portfolios from Daniel Vorcaro's bank, with approximately R$ 12 billion showing signs of lack of backing and structural inconsistencies.
