According to The Asahi Shimbun, at least 90 taxi operators have already registered in the two weeks after a new ride-sharing service was launched here and in Tokyo.
While the majority of current customers are foreign tourists, taxi companies are hiring more drivers in anticipation of the service’s wider adoption. On the evening of 19 April, local taxi company MK Co. received a ride-share reservation through the Uber app from Vietnamese tourists who wanted to travel from Kiyomizudera temple to Kyoto Gosho. Ninety percent of the company’s ride-sharing customers are foreign visitors, likely familiar with the service in their home countries. Domestic customers, on the other hand, are still unfamiliar with the concept. https://www.asahi.com/ajw/articles/15245852
