The transport ministry is planning to introduce fixed-fare unlimited-ride services for taxis, similar to commuter passes for trains, to help attract more customers, officials said Wednesday.
The planned service is intended to boost demand among people who regularly use taxis on fixed routes at certain times, such as commuters, seniors going to hospitals and parents escorting their children to and from cram schools, the officials from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism said.
The service may also serve as alternative transportation for people who surrender their driver's licenses because of old age, the officials added.
