[Asia Economy Reporter Jin-gyu Lee] Kakao Mobility's taxi transportation franchise subsidiary KM Solution announced on the 9th that it will start pilot services for the franchise taxi service 'Kakao T Blue' in Ulsan, Gwangju, and Uijeongbu, Gyeonggi Province.

With this, Kakao T Blue will operate in 10 regions nationwide. The Kakao T Blue pilot service in the new regions will have a total scale of about 750 vehicles. Approximately 400 vehicles in Ulsan, 200 vehicles in Gwangju, and 150 vehicles in Uijeongbu will operate respectively. During the service period, the same fare as regular mid-sized taxis will be applied without any additional service fees. The official service will be launched after a period of service stabilization and inspection.

KM Solution partnered with local taxi transportation franchise operators to expand the Kakao T Blue service areas. Taxi transportation franchise operators DH Mobility (Ulsan), GJT Mobility (Gwangju), and SNT Solution (Uijeongbu) will serve as KM Solution regional headquarters and be responsible for service operations in their respective regions. KM Solution provides not only franchise taxi operation know-how but also mobility technology for efficient operation on the Kakao T platform.

Kakao T Blue currently provides official services with about 4,200 vehicles in four cities: Seoul, Daegu, Seongnam in Gyeonggi Province, and Daejeon. Additionally, about 260 vehicles are operating pilot services in three cities: Namyangju, Guri, and Hanam in Gyeonggi Province. With the additional pilot services in these three regions, KM Solution will operate about 5,200 Kakao T Blue vehicles. The goal is to expand to about 10,000 vehicles nationwide within the year.
