The city of Seoul plans to raise the base rate from 3,000 to 3,800 won next year. The metropolitan city of Seoul announced on January 25 that it offered three ways to increase the basic taxi fare to 3,400 won, 3,800 won and 4,700 won at the public hearing devoted to the policy of taxi fares and the improvement of the service that was held the day before.

Currently, the taxi fare for Seoul is 3000 won for basic fare, 35 seconds for fare of 100 won for hourly fare and 142 million for fare of 100 won for fare.

An invoice issued by the city of Seoul will increase the base rate to 3,400 won (4,900 won late in the night) while maintaining basic rates and hourly rates. The bill will raise the base rate to 3,800 won (5,400 won late in the night), raise the public rate to 132 meters / 100 won, and increase the hourly rate to 31 seconds per 100 won. In the third plan, the base rate is raised to 4700 won (6400 won late at night), the street rate is applied at 132 meters per 100 won and the time charge is applied at 31 seconds per 100 won.

The most important of them is known to be both. The rate of increase in prices for one eye is 5.3%, which means that it is difficult to improve the treatment of taxi drivers. Two are likely to be obtained by combining cost-saving measures (6.78%) and treatment improvements tailored to the vital salaries in Seoul.

The city of Seoul will extend the basic fare at the 2 to 3 km night rate to prevent the refusal to drive late at night and not to drive a short distance. The application deadline will also be one hour earlier, from noon to 11 pm It is also considering a plan to reduce the distance (100 W) from the present (142 m) by 10 m.

The Seoul Metropolitan Government also announced that it would freeze the increase in income accumulated for six months after the rate hike so that the increase in income will come back to the article rather than the increase to the company, then that the accumulated amount increases only by 20% of the income increase.

The increase in taxi fares in Seoul will be finalized by the end of the year by the House Awards Committee, the Seoul Metropolitan Assembly and the Taxi Policy Committee.
