[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Seryeong] Miryang City, Gyeongnam Province, is launching the integrated taxi call smartphone application service "Ribbon Taxi."

The city introduced the service to reduce the economic burden on taxi operators and drivers, who have been hit hard by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and to enhance convenience for citizens. It is being actively promoted both online and offline.

Out of the 379 taxis operating in the city, 241 taxis, accounting for 63%, have subscribed to Ribbon Taxi, and 75 taxis have completed wrapping and installation of roof lights.

Ribbon Taxi was created by Miryang's individual and corporate taxi operators. Users can install the smartphone app to call a taxi and use the service free of charge without any call fees or brokerage commissions.

When a taxi is called, the driver's photo and license information are displayed on the user's app, and service users can communicate driving preferences such as "I dislike sudden stops or rapid acceleration" or "I want a quiet ride" to the driver.

The dispatch is fast, so users do not have to wait long. The service provides customized mobility options including estimated travel time, fare, and route confirmation. Additionally, points are accumulated with each ride, which can be used to pay fares.

A city official stated, "We will do our best to ensure that the integrated call Ribbon Taxi becomes a competitive, win-win service that satisfies both transportation workers and citizens."
