To enhance the employment stability of taxi drivers, the taxi management and service evaluation, which was conducted biennially, will now be conducted annually. The incentive amount based on the evaluation will be increased from 1 billion KRW to 1.5 billion KRW, and the treatment improvement allowance for corporate taxi drivers will be raised from 100,000 KRW per month to 110,000 KRW per month. A new group insurance support project including injury coverage for corporate taxi drivers has also been newly established.
