Seoul’s public transportation is very convenient. Numerous subway lines and buses assist people in getting around. However, there are times when we find ourselves needing a car. This can happen when our destination is far from the public transport stop or when we have a lot of luggage, making a vehicle more efficient than public transport. Therefore, we may want to call a taxi, rent a car to drive ourselves, or, in some cases, request a driver who can drive us.
You can easily encounter needs for a car even while you are staying abroad. Searching for and finding services in an unfamiliar country can be quite tiring. Fortunately, there’s an app that brings together all the transportation services you need in one place: Kakao T.
Kakao T started as a service for calling taxis via mobile, but it has now expanded its offerings to include various transportation-related services, such as car rentals, finding parking spaces, and delivering goods.
This application supports multiple languages, which is uncommon among apps that provide similar services in Korea. This makes it easier for international users who do not speak Korean to utilize the services. Currently, this application offers Korean, English and Japanese.
