Despite MOLIT's Innovation Plan Announcement, "No Resumption of Tada Service"

[Asia Economy Reporter Bu Aeri] As the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced a draft enforcement decree recommendation for the 'second Tada,' VCNC, the operator of Tada, reaffirmed its plan to terminate 'Tada Basic,' which was operated with white Carnival vehicles.

A VCNC official stated on the 3rd, "We have already judged that it is a market where it is difficult to generate profits, so we have terminated the 'Tada Basic' service and currently have no plans to resume the business." VCNC plans to focus on the franchise taxi business, 'Tada Light.'

According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, under the amendment to the Passenger Transport Service Act, known as the 'Tada Prohibition Act,' from April next year, to operate a platform transportation business like 'Tada,' one must own 30 or more vehicles with 13 seats or fewer and meet basic requirements to obtain government approval.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's 'Mobility Innovation Committee,' composed of external experts, finalized and announced a policy recommendation for mobility innovation, including the amendment plan for subordinate laws of the Passenger Transport Service Act, centered on these contents.

According to the amendment to the Passenger Transport Act, platform operators are classified into three types: ▲Platform Transportation Business (Type 1), such as 'Tada Basic,' which was operated with existing white Carnival vehicles; ▲Platform Franchise Business (Type 2), such as Kakao T Blue or Makaron Taxi; and ▲Platform Brokerage Business (Type 3), such as T map Taxi.

The core of the recommendation is the platform transportation business. To operate this business, operators must pay a contribution fee in the spirit of coexistence with existing taxis. The contribution fee can be chosen by the operator from among 5% of total sales, 800 KRW per trip, or 400,000 KRW per licensed vehicle.
