[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Nahum] UT, a joint venture between Uber and T map Mobility, announced on the 21st that it will start a 'Surprise Taxi' surprise event.


This event provides free transportation services in Tesla Model 3 vehicles to randomly selected customers who call a taxi through the UT app. The service operates from 8:00 AM to 10:30 AM and from 5:30 PM to 10:00 PM, with 1,000 KRW donated for each ride. The Surprise Taxi is a limited-time surprise event, and the period may be adjusted flexibly depending on operational circumstances.


UT will donate the funds accumulated from the Surprise Taxi event to operate the 'Good Shuttle' for workers with severe disabilities. The Good Shuttle is Korea's first dedicated shuttle service for disabled workers, created through the collaboration of SK Telecom, Everyone's Shuttle, Seongnam City, and the Korea Employment Agency for the Disabled, to help workers with severe disabilities commute comfortably despite difficulties.


Additionally, UT provides a welcome kit including hand sanitizer and a 20% discount coupon to passengers of the Surprise Taxi. The welcome kits are limited in quantity and distribution may end early once supplies run out.


An Instagram event will also be held for passengers who receive the welcome kit. Those who wish to participate should follow UT's Instagram, take a photo with the welcome kit, hashtag it, and upload it to their own account. The first-place winner will receive the latest Apple Watch, and all participants will receive an additional 20% discount coupon for UT.



Tom White, CEO of UT, said, "We are very pleased to contribute to enhancing social value through this Surprise Taxi event," adding, "We will continue to discover various opportunities and activities that promote the development of drivers, passengers, and the community as members of UT."
