You can choose the medium size. Then press Select Taxi at the bottom.
Address information on the map appears on the map where you are currently located. The current location is listed as 440-6, Palbong-dong, Iksan-si, Jeollabuk-do.

This is a new screen with the addition of automatic payment, and it says that the meter fee will be automatically paid with the selected card. The amount based on the distance is automatically calculated. What are the expected costs at origin and destination? For a regular call, it is expected to be 6,400 won, and for a smart call, it is expected to be 1,000 won plus 7,400 won. What if you checked the amount information? In the next step, select a payment method.
There are two items in payment method selection. The first item allows you to use the automatic payment function. This feature is not yet available nationwide, and taxi drivers say it is quite inconvenient. It might get better in the future, but so far there are many inconvenient problems, so what if I choose a check card? It is said that the drivers do not accept calls.. And the second item has been used before, and is an old method where the drivers arrive at the destination and pay with a card, which is an old method that does not cause any inconvenience.
After selecting the options and clicking ‘Call’, the screen above appears. Rather than 100% acceptance, the driver must accept the call request to proceed to the next step. In areas with poor transportation? If you use the ‘Smart Call’ function, which requires an additional fee of 1,000 won, the call acceptance rate will definitely increase.
