| Sumario: | The purpose of this article is to reveal the perceptions that the inhabitants of the municipalities of Arjona, Turbaco, El Carmen De Bolívar and Magangué, of the department of Bolívar, construct. Emphasis on the economic, social and environmental effects of the dynamics of the mototaxism trade, as well as the effectiveness of the actions carried out by the municipal and departmental authorities for its control. The methodological strategy used was of a qualitative nature, in order to make visible the voices of local actors who interact and relate to the territory in their daily lives. For this, semi-structured interviews were held, aimed at users and non-users of the motorcycle taxi service and public and private transporters, as well as focus groups, made up of public officials from the municipal mayors. The results show that, although the mototaxism trade has facilitated the mobility of both people and merchandise from local producers and merchants (formal and informal), it has generated conflicts over who or who can transport people and goods, given the legitimization of an informal and illegal trade that generates consequences for the legal transport service. The trade has also brought with it environmental effects, reflected in air quality, conservation of rural soil, the visual appeal of the municipality and the hearing of the population. Regarding the ex officio regulatory measures for motorcycle taxism, low knowledge was concluded. Those who indicate some knowledge, they consider them to be ineffective, since they are transitory and, in some cases, lack planning.
