Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport seeks to transfer taxi transport associations to Korea Transportation Safety Authority
The government and the taxi industry are at odds over the taxi driver’s qualification test.
According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and the taxi industry on the 3rd, the government is pushing
To transfer the taxi driving qualification test currently being conducted by each city
And province taxi transport business association to the Korea Transportation Safety Corporation.
The measure is based on the policy of recovering agency 스마트스토어상위노출
Projects entrusted to the private sector after the Ferry Sewol disaster in April.
The taxi driver qualification test is a basic test that qualifies as a taxi driver, and it takes the contents of geography
Road traffic law, and transportation services for the area. Currently, the qualification test for
Buses and trucks is conducted by the Korea Transportation Safety Authority.
An official from the taxi industry team of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport said
“We are considering transferring to the Korea Transportation Safety Authority for fairness rather than safety
As it is checking geography and laws for existing driver’s license holders.” The official added
“We are in consultation with the industry, and no specific decision has been made yet
Including the timing, as it is a matter that requires revision of the law.”
The taxi industry is protesting against this. Each city and provincial association takes tests
One to four times a month to meet the demand for regional exams, and if the Korea Transportation Safety
Authority does it collectively, it is questionable whether it will be able to respond appropriately to this demand.
The cost of investing in facilities is also a problem. An official from the Taxi Transport Business Association complained
“We invested in facilities at a considerable cost according to the government’s recommendation
But if we withdraw it now, what will happen to the investment cost?”
