Taxi Fares to Rise in June

Now, public transportation are quite simple for people that live in the city.Almost people knows how to use public transportation such as buses, taxies, and subway.

In South Korea, taxis are mostly common transportation for Korean.The fare of taxis will increase in June from w1,900 to w2,400 (1USD = w1,273) because of the oil prices. This increase of fare are never happen in last 5 years since 2005. In 2005, it are 18-percent increase of the taxis fare, but there are increase 13-percent in 2010. Now, Taxis are available to park their car in Palaces, parks, and museums during the weekend and holidays.
