230,000 Kakao T taxi drivers across the country to receive information of missing people from police
South Koreas taxi drivers and the police are joining forces to find missing people, the National Police Agency said Thursday.
In the event of a missing persons report, depending on the details and circumstances of the case, the police will first determine whether to dispatch a message to KaKao Mobility, the operator of Koreas biggest taxi-hailing app Kakao T.
Once the police decide to do so, they will set the scope of the targeted search area and send a description of the missing persons to Kakao Mobility.
The apps operator, upon receiving the message from the police, will then distribute the information to taxi drivers in the targeted region.
