Jeonnam Province Integrates Mokpo-Muan Taxi Transport Service Areas... Resolving 17 Years of Conflict

Jeonnam Province is expected to resolve a 17-year-old conflict by signing an agreement to integrate the Mokpo-Muan taxi transportation business districts.

On the 17th, the province announced that it signed a business agreement to integrate the Mokpo-Muan taxi transportation business districts together with taxi representatives from Mokpo City and Muan County at the Seo Jae-pil Room in the provincial government building.

The signing ceremony was attended by Hong Seong-yong, Chairman of the Mokpo General Taxi Association; Seo Cheon-su, Head of the Mokpo City Branch of Private Taxi; Kim Song-ja, Representative of Muan General Taxi; Yang Hee-geun, Head of the Muan County Branch of Private Taxi; four representatives from the taxi industry; Governor Kim Young-rok; the Mayor of Mokpo; the County Governor of Muan; and provincial assembly members.

The main contents of the agreement include ▲ integration of business districts ▲ application of the same fare between Mokpo and Muan ▲ unified implementation in accordance with the fare increase announcement date.

Mokpo taxis will be able to operate in Namak New Town, and Muan taxis will be able to operate throughout Mokpo, which is expected to help resolve unnecessary business district disputes and alleviate transportation inconveniences for users in the Namak Oryong area, where taxis are scarce.

Governor Kim Young-rok said, “This integration of taxi transportation business districts will not only breathe new life into taxi transportation between Mokpo and Muan but also serve as a representative model of win-win development through major regional compromise. We will do our best to support taxi workers so that they can work with greater pride.”
