Coupang Eats Riders Participate in Seoul-Style Two-Wheeler Traffic Safety Experience Training

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bo-kyung] A large number of Coupang Eats Service delivery partners and Its Chingus participated in the 'Traffic Safety Experience Education' conducted by the Seoul Metropolitan Government and the Korea Transportation Safety Authority. Its Chingu refers to delivery riders directly employed by Coupang Eats Service.

The Seoul-style two-wheeler traffic safety experience education was held a total of 12 times from the 16th to the 25th. It was co-hosted by the Seoul Metropolitan Government and the Transportation Safety Authority, with support from the Seoul Autonomous Police Committee, Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency, and Coupang Eats Service for venue cooperation and recruitment promotion. Although delivery riders were the main target of the education, any Seoul citizen who wished to participate could join for free.

Coupang Eats Service promoted the program to delivery partners and Its Chingus responsible for Coupang Eats deliveries to increase participation. In this education, professional instructors from the Transportation Safety Authority focused on experiential training including 'low-speed and high-speed braking posture,' 'safe driving methods,' and 'ways to minimize injuries in case of traffic accidents,' along with theoretical education. Officials from the Transportation Safety Authority, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, Seoul Metropolitan Government, and Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency visited the training site on the 24th to encourage the trainees.

Jang Ki-hwan, CEO of Coupang Eats Service, said, "We expect this to have been a useful education for the safety of both riders and citizens," adding, "We will continue to make our best efforts for safety in cooperation with related organizations."

Meanwhile, in September, Coupang and Coupang Eats Service signed a business agreement (MOU) with the Transportation Safety Authority and the Seoul Metropolitan Government to prevent traffic accidents involving Coupang Chingu and Its Chingu, delivery personnel directly employed by the company.
