Taxi business districts that you may not be aware of (business areas)

Knowledge of business areas

Business zones are defined by law and are designated by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism based on the location of the taxy company or office. In addition, while taxis are basically required to operate within their business zone, there are exceptions. In some cases, operation beyond the business district may be allowed.

Four patterns

Assume that a taxy company's business area is "A".

• (1) Place to get on: A → Place to get off: Outside business area = OK
• (2) Place to get on: Outside business area → Place to get off: A = OK
• (3) Place to get on: A → Place to get off: A = OK
• (4) Place to get on: out of business area → Place to get off: out of business area = NG

By the way, the operating area of Heiwa Kanko Corp. the operating company of JumboTaxy.com, is the "prefecture south central transportation area", which includes Kawaguchi City, Saitama City, Konosu City, Ageo City, Warabi City, Toda City, and Okegawa. City, Kitamoto City, and Ina Town.

This is the reason why you sometimes see taxis with Tokyo license plates in Saitama City.
