Geumcheon-gu Launches Pilot Project for 'Seoul Mom Dad Taxi' Service

Geumcheon-gu, Supports 100,000 KRW Taxi Points per Infant Under 24 Months

Applications Available from 10 AM on May 24 via Mobile App ‘I.M Taxi’

Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yu Seong-hoon) announced that starting May 24, it will implement the ‘Seoul Mom and Dad Taxi’ project to support families raising infants who need to carry many items such as strollers when going out.

‘Seoul Mom and Dad Taxi’ is a pilot project by the Seoul Metropolitan Government implemented in 16 districts including Geumcheon-gu. It provides taxi usage points worth 100,000 KRW annually per infant under 24 months registered in Geumcheon-gu.

Taxi usage points can be applied for by either parent raising the infant under 24 months or one relative within the third degree of kinship. However, considering this is the first year of the project, infants born between January and June 2021 can apply until July even if they have passed 24 months.

Applicants can apply by installing the ‘I.M Taxi’ mobile app and registering the required documents (ID card, resident registration certificate issued within one month). After eligibility verification, points will be granted. Recipients can use the app to book exclusive taxis equipped with car seats.

Yu Seong-hoon, Mayor of Geumcheon-gu, said, “This project is part of the ‘Mom and Dad Happiness Project’ to overcome low birth rates,” adding, “We hope ‘Seoul Mom and Dad Taxi’ will help guardians who feel burdened by strollers and bulky items when going out.”
