It's been the same situation in Ecuador for a while. In some cities it's tolerated, in others the police have cracked down by calling Ubers and handing out large fines when the car arrives. I'm sympathetic to the taxi drivers.. but Uber is considered significantly safer. There's also InDriver and Cabify but they are less popular.
