86.5% of Seoul citizens do not expect improvement of service quality even if taxi fare is higher.

In addition, 41.5% of respondents said that they need it for their carpool app service, which is much higher than the 22.5% that they do not need it.

According to a survey released by the Seoul Institute of Technology in Seoul during the first quarter of this year, 86.5 percent of Seoul residents answered that there will be no difference in service quality after raising taxi fares.

Only 7.5% of respondents said that it is likely to be improved.

The survey was conducted on January 14-22 in Seoul, covering 1,200 households. The sampling error is ± 2.83% p at 95% confidence level.

Seoul taxi base rate rose from 3,000 won to 3,800 won from 16th last month.

One month after the rate hike has passed, it is pointed out that services such as refusal to ride are still intact.

According to the survey, more than half of respondents (54.7%) answered that the basic tax rate is less than 3,000 won to 3,500 won.

The most hopeful improvement after taxi fare increase was "refusal to board" at 45.7%.

'Unfriendly' 29.0%, 'bad driving' 9.1% and so on.

About 91.9% of the controversial carpool app services were "aware".

41.6% of the respondents answered that they needed the carpool app service, 35.9% said it was normal, and 22.5% said they did not need it.

Positive aspects of carpool services that citizens think are ranked as 'cheap rates', and negative ones are 'likely to be exploited for various crimes'.

On the other hand, the Consumer Attitudes Index, which represents the perception of Seoul citizens in the first quarter, dropped to 93.7, down 0.7p from the previous quarter, and dropped for the third consecutive quarter.

A consumer attitude index of over 100 means a positive outlook for the economic outlook or consumer spending, and a lower than 100 means the opposite.

The 'home buying attitude index' was 69.5, down 1.9p from the previous quarter.

Seoul Research Institute said, "After 9/13 real estate policy measures, it seems that housing transactions have stagnated due to various regulatory policies and citizens who expect further decrease in house prices reflect the fact that purchasing sentiment has declined due to delayed purchase of housing."
