* New rates will apply from 04:00 on March 9 (Sat), 2019.

ㅇ Potential for inconveniences during system transition: Once the new rates are enforced, taxis will calculate their fares using a reference table for 15 days

  - More than 14,000 taxis will update their taxi fare meter machines during this 15-day period starting on March 9 (Sat). We ask for your patience and cooperation during this period regarding any inconvenience that may be caused by the use of reference tables.
 
ㅇTaxi Fare Increase - Background
  - The taxi industry decided to increase the taxi fare schedule for the following reasons: Reflect the inflation of consumer prices and overall cost of transportation (increased fuel prices) since December 9, 2013 when the overall taxi fare schedule was increased for the final time; Ensure an appropriate price for taxi fares to reflect the substantial increase in minimum wage since 2013; Improve treatment of drivers and services for citizens (consumers).
