How to use Kakao Taxi
When it is difficult to use public transportation, we use taxis. I mainly use it in rural areas rather than metropolitan areas. There was a time in the past when you had to dial a number on your cell phone to call a taxi, pay an additional call fee when the call driver came, and use a taxi. However, these days, you can easily use Taxi by simply installing ‘Kakao Taxi’ on your smartphone and running the app without paying a separate call fee. In this article, we will learn about ‘how to use Kakao Taxi.’
What is a really easy way to use Kakao Taxi? The name has changed, and now you can use integrated services such as parking and designated driving by installing the ‘Kakao T’ app.
When is it best to use kakao taxi?
After using it, I think it is most appropriate to use it at a distance of about 4,000 to 8,000 won, which costs a little more than the basic price. Since the call did not work at a distance where only the basic fare was charged, I could not catch a taxi even if I pressed the call button for a long time. However, once the basic fee was exceeded, it was a different story. The driver answers the call right away, as if it had never happened before. Of course, it differed depending on the region. In the metropolitan area, it was much easier to catch a taxi than in the countryside, but in the countryside, in the case of Pyeongtaek and Suwon, it was really difficult to catch a taxi if you went a little further into the countryside.
