Gyeonggi Province Conducts Joint Crackdown on Illegal Taxi Operations

Gyeonggi Province announced on the 28th that it will conduct a joint crackdown on illegal taxi operations in 28 municipalities from the 29th of this month through the 17th of next month.

The inspection will be led by the provincial government in 8 cities with severe illegal activities, while the remaining 20 cities will be inspected by their respective local governments.

Three counties—Gapyeong, Yangpyeong, and Yeoncheon—are excluded from the inspection targets as illegal activities have not been reported in these areas.

This inspection will be conducted jointly with the Gyeonggi Provincial Police Agency, corporate and individual taxi associations, taxi unions, and taxi business divisions of each city to intensively crackdown on illegal rental car-like taxi operations, unauthorized private vehicle taxi services, and illegal taxi operations by Seoul taxis within the province (such as waiting, cruising, and call waiting).

Following the inspection, illegal activities will be reported to police or subject to administrative sanctions.
