Split the taxi

 
A customer gets in a taxi at Seoul Station on Tuesday. Starting Wednesday, cab hailing platforms including Kakao Taxi will be allowed to provide taxi sharing services. The companies must provide information on the destination and the time during which passengers will be sharing the ride. The app must have a function where the passenger can immediate contact the police or customer service in case of an emergency. Excluding van-type taxis, only passengers of the same gender are allowed to share a cab. Cab sharing has been legally banned since 1982. [YONHAP]
