This improvement actively reflects the opinions of citizens using the 'Public Taxi' and focuses on increasing practical mobility convenience.

The main improvements include ▲adding transportation-disadvantaged areas (from the existing 40 villages to 42 villages) ▲differentiated usage frequency based on village usage rates ▲adding destinations reflecting residents' demand ▲improving taxi call acceptance rates through increased subsidies for transportation-disadvantaged areas.

Kang Su-hyun, Mayor of Yangju City, said, "The public taxi has established itself as a service that provides practical help and inspiration to citizens beyond being a simple means of transportation," adding, "We will continue to listen to citizens' voices and strive to provide more convenient and satisfactory services."

Meanwhile, the 'Public Taxi' is a project aimed at resolving transportation imbalance issues and guaranteeing mobility rights for citizens living in areas with poor transportation conditions, and it can be used in villages designated as transportation-disadvantaged areas.
