IM Taxi seeks to expand the economy beyond Seoul with affiliated taxis

IM Taxi, which was operated under the “100% direct management system”

Will enter the Gyeonggi area beyond Seoul as a franchise taxi.

It is interpreted as a move to expand the appearance of affiliated taxis as

The corporate taxi industry is in financial difficulties due to the shortage

Of drivers and a decrease in passenger demand. 스마트스토어상위노출

According to the Seoul Metropolitan Government on the 20th

Jin Mobility, the operator of IM Taxi, recently returned its license for the passenger

Car platform transportation franchise to the Seoul Metropolitan Government.

The move is aimed at expanding the franchise taxi business area from Seoul to Bucheon, Gyeonggi Province.

According to the Passenger Transport Service Act, if two or more cities or provinces operate franchise businesses.

They must obtain a license from the Minister of Land, Infrastructure and Transport

Not the Mayor or Provincial Governor.

Like Kakao Mobility’s “Kakao T Blue,” the license is essential to provide brand use

And standardized services to individual and corporate taxis and to operate a franchise taxi

That receives a certain fee. Jin Mobility received a license for its franchise business from the Seoul

Metropolitan Government in 2021 but has been operating IM Taxi only through

12 direct transportation companies. The decision is based on the judgment that

Franchise taxis have limitations in service quality management.

However, as it has decided to expand its business area and obtain a new franchise license

IM Taxi is also expected to start its franchise taxi business in earnest soon.

Currently, IM Taxi has secured 1,200 corporate taxi licenses in Seoul alone.

An official from Jin Mobility said, “We are considering entering Gyeonggi-do or other regions in the future

” and added, “The specific schedule and number of operations have not been determined.

Taxi companies are closed and closed one after another…Investment has also been cut off

IM Taxi, which had taken over a taxi company and adhered to its direct management

Turned its steering wheel as a member because its growth method had reached its limit.

Taxi companies whose management has deteriorated are increasing as demand for passengers

Has decreased due to fare hikes amid the shortage of taxi drivers.

Jinhwa Taxi and KM2, which were directly operated by Kakao Mobility

Have also been closed since July due to a series of deficits.

The situation at Jinmobility is no different. It recorded 21.8 billion won in sales and 13.6 billion won

In an operating loss last year. Since attracting 80 billion won worth of investment in Series A in January last year.

News of fund transfusion has also been cut off. This year, on the premise of the merger of VCNC

The operator of Tada, it started to attract investment worth 50 billion won, but even this failed.

Moreover, some observers say that large taxis such as IM Taxi are more expensive than medium

Sized taxis, which has dampened passenger demand.

In response, Jin Mobility is also considering various self-rescue measures

A typical example is to convert two direct transportation companies into cooperatives.

Cooperatives, which have emerged as an alternative to management difficulties in the taxi industry

Are structured in which drivers jointly own the company and participate in management by making investments.

Analysts say that if only certain operating expenses are deposited into the union

The rest of the profits are for drivers like private taxis

Which is higher than the corporate taxi full management system (monthly salary system).

An official from Jin Mobility said, “When converting to a cooperative

We can solve the problem of labor-management or securing investment capacity

And drivers can take their performance completely,” adding

“However, the conversion of cooperatives is decided by each transportation company’s

Labor union, and we are conducting briefing sessions and discussing related issues with the two unions.”

“The taxi industry is indeed suffering from overall difficulties due to the increase in fares,” he said.

“IM Taxi will secure profitability by discovering various business models such as Seoul Mom and Dad Taxi

Which supports taxi points for infants and toddler-rearing families

And Gangnam Medical Tourist Customized Pickup and Sanding Service Medical Taxi.”
