Incheon Taxi to provide interpretation service starting next year

Incheon Municipal Office announced that starting January 1st, 2012, all taxis operating in the city will have foreign language interpretation service available.

As needed, a cab driver or a foreign passenger may dial a free call center (080-840-9595) and select a language for which interpretation is required. Then the line will connect to an interpreter of that language and he/she will translate the conversation between the driver and passenger. The interpretation service is available for seven different languages: English, Japanese, Chinese, French, German, Russian, and Spanish. Service hours are from 7:00 to 22:00 on weekdays, and from 8:00 to 18:00 on Saturdays and holidays. This service is expected to reduce communication barriers between taxi drivers and foreign tourists, most of whom are hailing cabs at
Incheon Airport.
