The taxi driver’s work goes beyond to transport individuals from one place toanother. While navigating throughout the city, taxi drivers build interactions with each other,with other social agents, with their taxi and with space and time. It is in those interactions, theycreate the meanings about their work, but there is a lack of understanding of those meaningsfrom a micro-sociological perspective. For that reason, the present research point to analyze theconstruction of social meanings of the activity of taxi drivers in Bogotá,Colombia based on thetheory of symbolic interactionism, proposed by Herbert Blumer (1969), non-classical work (Dela Garza, 2010 & 2013) and social networks (Lomnitz, 1975 & 1994). The analysis of the data,showed that interactions are what allows the creation of meanings that the taxi drivers give totheir work; in addition, the interactions allow the entrance of individuals to work as taxi driversand its permanence in it.
