Safety and cleanliness inspection of 5,000 private taxis in Daegu... For three days from the 16th

Daegu City will conduct a general inspection of private taxis from the 16th to the 18th.

Inspections are conducted every day from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at three inspection sites near Samsung Lions Park, Secheon Little Baseball Stadium, and Sangyeok Campground.

About 10,000 private taxis in Daegu are inspected every two years based on the last digits of their vehicle license plates, and this year, about 5,000 taxis with odd numbers at the end are subject to inspection.

The inspection is handled by a joint inspection team composed of city, district, and county officials and executives and representatives of private taxi transportation business associations.

We focus on the items that citizens directly experience when using taxis, such as the status of taxi driver's qualifications posted. They also check the cleanliness of the vehicle and ensure that seat belts and fare meters are operating properly.

As a result of the inspection, any issues that can be corrected on site will be corrected immediately, and if additional improvements are needed, the district/county in charge will check again. Violations of laws and regulations are subject to fines and fines depending on the nature of the violation.

A Daegu city official said, "We will check the safety and cleanliness of vehicles through inspections, and together with the taxi industry, we will create an environment where citizens can use them with confidence."
