From yesterday (1st), the taxi surcharge time was pulled back by 2 hours to 10pm.
From yesterday, the late-night surcharge for taxi fares in Seoul started at 10:00 p.m., 2 hours earlier, and the surcharge is applied at 4,600 won.
In addition, a 40% surcharge is applied from 11:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. the next day when there are many passengers, so the basic fare is 5,300 won.
Among the citizens, reactions such as 'I took a taxi after 10pm, and I was embarrassed that the basic fare started at 4,600 won', 'I went on a business trip to the provinces and came up and had a late dinner, and it is already a surcharge', etc., were the main reactions that were burdensome.
On the other hand, there was also an opinion that a fare increase was inevitable, saying, 'Isn't it necessary for taxi fares to rise as much as prices have risen?
Taxi drivers were generally welcoming, hoping that their income would increase a little.
However, corporate taxi drivers were concerned that the company's private payments would rise as well.
