Namyangju City Proceeds with Selection of Operator for Northern Taxi Rest Stop... Targets Opening in March Next Year

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Um In-yong] Namyangju City announced on the 16th that it will openly recruit an operator to manage the stable operation of the Northern Taxi Rest Stop, a transportation pledge project for the current administration.

Following the Southern Taxi Rest Stop that opened in Hopyeong-dong in 2019, the Northern Taxi Rest Stop will be developed as a comfortable rest area equipped with a lounge, fitness facility, and meeting room.

Construction was initially targeted for completion in November this year, but the deadline was changed to January next year due to on-site circumstances.

After completing construction, the city plans to proceed swiftly with all procedures to begin operations starting in March next year.

The recruitment announcement for an operator begins on the 16th, with applications accepted from the 31st of this month through January 3rd next year. Applicants must be taxi-related organizations based in Namyangju City, and application documents must be submitted directly to the Public Transportation Division of Namyangju City Hall.

The city will then select the final operating entity through a review by the Operator Selection Deliberation Committee and plans to complete the move-in procedures by February next year.

For details regarding the operator recruitment, please check the 'Notices and Announcements' section on the official website of Namyangju City Hall.

Namyangju City Mayor Ju Gwang-deok said, "Taxi drivers will be able to experience tangible improvements in welfare through the Northern Taxi Rest Stop," adding, "We will make our utmost efforts to ensure stable operation of the rest stop and increase user satisfaction from the perspective of visitors."
