On the 2nd, Uber Taxi announced the launch of a customized taxi-hailing service called 'Regular Taxi XL' designed to enhance the mobility of group passengers and travelers.
When selecting the Regular Taxi XL option in the Uber Taxi application, a vehicle with trunk space capable of carrying up to three 24-inch CARRY suitcases will be dispatched. The fare is the same as a regular taxi, and the hailing fee is separate.
Any driver operating a vehicle with ample trunk space can accept requests for Regular Taxi XL through the Uber app without a separate registration process.
Uber Taxi will initially offer services focusing on major airport cities like Seoul, Incheon, Jeju, and Busan, as well as regions with high business and travel demand, such as Gyeonggi, Ulsan, and Gangwon. The coverage area is expected to gradually expand nationwide.
